Toyota Motor Philippines’ (TMP) Abante Posible ambassador Coco Martin led the Toyota Tamaraw Roadshow in Marilao, Bulacan. The popular action star met with Marileños and Bulakeños at the Toyota Marilao, Bulacan dealership to celebrate the versatility and functionality of the Tamaraw.
The Tamaraw Roadshow in Marilao, Bulacan, is Martin’s third provincial stop after Cagayan De Oro and Tacloban, where customers have been sharing their stories of Abante Posible with the Toyota Tamaraw.
During the event, Coco Martin shared his experience of driving a Toyota Tamaraw Utility Van, a unit which he personally owns. The actor said that he uses the Tamaraw for his business and for his employees’ transportation. He noted the Tamaraw’s spacious cargo area, which comes in handy when going for a grocery run, while its air conditioning also got a thumbs up from Coco Martin.
“Ang una-unang binili ko sa kanila (sa Toyota) yung Utility Van, kasi naisip ko gamitin sa negosyo na tinayo namin. Pag nag gogrocery kami, dito lahat namin nilalagay yung grocery namin. Kapag sa bahay kinailangan yung mga tao namin ng masasakyan, napaka komportable nila kasi aircon at maluwag,” Coco shared.
(The first variant I bought from Toyota is the Utility Van, because I thought of using it for our business. Every time we buy groceries, we load everything we bought here (in the Utility Van). At our house, if our employees need transportation, they can ride comfortably because there’s air conditioning and it’s spacious.)
Coco Martin added that he was impressed with the Tamaraw’s performance, with specific mention of how soft the clutch of Toyota’s utilitarian vehicle is.
“Sabi ko ang tagal ko nang nagdadrive. Nagulat ako siguro dahil moderno na ngayon at inaayos ng inaayos ang makina. First time ko maka apak ng clutch na ganun kalambot, sabi ko bat napakalambot ng clutch neto at napaka lakas ng power? Nagulat ako dun sa performance ng Toyota Tamaraw,” he said.
(I’ve been driving for a long time. I was probably surprised because (the Tamaraw) is modern now, and the engine is continuously being improved. It’s the first time that I stepped on a clutch that is so soft. I said to myself, “Why is the clutch so soft, and there is so much power?” I was surprised with the performance of the Toyota Tamaraw.)
Aside from Coco Martin’s experience with the Tamaraw, Toyota PH also shared stories of Abante Posible from different entrepreneurs.
Domingo Delizo, who is from Pandi, Bulacan, shared that his business’s income has tripled ever since he bought his Toyota Tamaraw. Delizo also praised Toyota’s reputation for offering reliable vehicles, which led to his family having peace of mind when it comes to their business operations.
Another customer, Estrella Maruyama, shared that they bought the Toyota Tamaraw as they wanted to experience the durability and quality that it offered. Once they received their Tamaraw, she was not disappointed as she found the interior to be comfortable and their rides with their Tamaraw to be smooth and relaxing.
