Say goodbye to commuting hassles with auto loans’ flexible terms
By ANTHEA GRAPE
Want to own a car?

Unclear pickup and drop-off locations, insufficient public transits, and the infamous two-hour EDSA traffic—these are the daily struggles Filipinos have to endure just to get from one place to another in Metro Manila and nearby cities.

Commuting in the Philippines has been a major headache for years. Every Juan who is in a rush is forced to book a ride on an app, and even that isn't a viable solution anymore. It only costs commuters a higher travel fare; not to mention also exposing them to risk-prone driving, too.

If you're tired of going through all that hassle, this may be a sign for you to buy your dream car and enjoy a seamless travel experience. (Or at least go through traffic in the comforts of your own vehicle.) No need to worry about your budget, as several banks offer auto loans with flexible terms.
