                    [Title] => New handicap system to level horseracing field
                    [Summary] => 

The Philippine Racing Commission is set to introduce a new handicapping system which, according to its chairman Florencio Fianza, would level the playing field among horse owners, jockeys, trainers and the betting public.


The new system is primarily aimed to put a stop to the common practice where horses, through their owners, are made to lose consecutive races.  They end up being relegated to lower groups, which they can dominate for a certain period of time.

                    [Summary] => 



The entry of Chinese-made vehicles into the country will stimulate the local automotive industry, much the same way that the entry of imported motorcycles stimulated the local motorcycle industry, according to local auto parts makers. 


Local auto parts makers said that the "China effect" opened wide the local market for motorcycles, widening the client base and bringing down the prices of motorcycles, making them more affordable.


Imported motorcycles first came into the country in the late 1990s.

The 130 members of the  Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP) are going ahead and building  a prototype of the Philippine Utility Vehicle (PhUV). 


The MVPMAP expects to complete the PhUV prototype by the first quarter of 2007. 


The PhUV is an Asian utility vehicle (AUV) type which the  MVPMAP has been lobbying for to replace the abandoned people’s car program of the government.

"It’s a bad move," said one avid racegoer. "It’s bad for us followers of daily double events."
