#GAC Philippines

Brands such as MG, Geely, and GAC have moved the needle forward in making us Filipinos spend our hard-earned pesos on their cars, by upping their game in terms of offering more standard features than the Japanese and Korean brands. GAC (Guangzhou Automotive Group, Co.) GAC was the very first brand that had lent me their cars, locally they're distributed by Legado Motors, a group led by a famously revered (and feared) politician and businessman, Luis "Chavit" Singson. You see, GAC not only makes their own cars but also has partnerships with Honda, Mitsubishi, and Toyota to be in charge of producing their cars for the local Chinese market (as mandated by Chinese Law). By partnering up with major Japanese brands, GAC was exposed to the famous and ever lasting quality that the Japanese automakers are known for. Suffice it to say GAC did their homework well, all of the cars GAC have lent me are very good cars in their own right. I will stake my own name and reputation on the line by saying GAC's cars are almost spotless in terms of quality, design, performance and reliability.
