Well, we live in the province and I have a Montero. It is a good all round car, big enough for all the family, comfortable and reliable. I have driven to an around Manila many times, met Steve and Emma. Drove down to Laguna to see Jake, been up to Baguio a few times and to the rice terraces at Banaue. As I go fishing a lot when home, it is great for all the fishing tackle. THe cost of running a car is minimal as gas is very cheap, so really for us it is a great asset.

But we also have a motor each, a kolong kolong, and a tricycle so we have every angle covered. I wouldn't be without all the options. Maybe Michael's life in Phils is different to mine.
