The Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines and the Truck Manufacturers Association issued early this week a report that sales surged to 261,370 units in the first nine months of 2016 up to September, up 26 percent from 206,284 sold in the same period last year. With three more months before 2016 ends, that total is expected to reach a record 370,000 behind the strong growth of the country’s economy, the two business organizations said.
