Heard in the news that business as usual pa din sila. Pwede magpa-service ng sasakyan. Hindi yata affected ang service area.

No way. Given the heat was intense enough to melt the plastic moldings, any car with melted body work will have to be considered scrap, as the hidden wiring and water damage make them an electrical fire hazard.

Mukhang walang sprinkler system. Hina naman ng branch/country manager 🙊

100% agree wit u bro... a branch manager should always have his staff attend to any wanderer in the shop/gallery.

another government fail! we have laws to protect us from these fires like the building and fire code of the philippines, an inspection is made every march (fire prevention month)

we really have no law enforcement for the fact that the government is weak... so many wasted manpower building those cars, high impact of pollution burning a vehicle with an orchestra of chemicals, wasted water fighting the fire and much more (this is not just about the money)

GOVERNMENT FAIL! VOTE DUTERTE, we need discipline and law enforcement!
