Wazzup Pilipinas!

Attendees of the 5th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) got a taste of what Kia Motors will bring to the worlds of motoring and sports.

The PIMS is one of the grandest auto exhibitions in the country and wanting to make a unique mark in this year’s staging, Columbian Autocar Corporation (CAC) brings a knockout surprise for the media and the public to enjoy!

Following its historic bid to join the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), the exclusive distributor of Kia Motors in the Philippines sets a unique primer for both its vehicle lineup and team roster.

On September 18 and 20, CAC and Kia  featured its impressive array of cars alongside the newly formed lineup of Team Kia Sorento.

Vehicle nameplates include the stylish compact, Kia Picanto; the cutting-edge All-New Kia Soul; the modern family car, Kia Carens; the performance SUV, Kia Sportage; the reveal of the K2700 Urban Passenger Vehicle (UPV); and the team namesake, Kia Sorento. The players, on the other hand, are a mix of college hoops standouts turned PBA pros like 2001 UAAP MVP Rich Alvarez, notable rookies like Kenneth Ighalo, and probably the most iconic draft pick of all, player-coach Manny Pacquiao.

Wazzup Pilipinas Original Short Stories Series: Deepest Regret

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Rachel, I'm saying these things to you because I want you to learn from my mistake. From what I observe, you're still living in the past. You can't move on because your mind says so. That it was your father's fault. But, Rachel, it was an accident. You should not accuse your father because he can't do that. He loves his family so much. He loves your mother and you very much."

Rachel Evergreen is the main character of the story. She got in an accident two years ago with her parents. Because of the accident, her personality changed from a jolly and friendly person into a taciturn and close-minded person. Her feelings for her father also changed because she believes that it was her father’s fault why her mother died in the car accident. She acquired Herplex Boolemia from the accident, which means that the heart is not functioning normally and may stop beating because of extreme shock.

The theme of the story is about regrets. These are things that you have the chances to do it but you didn’t do it. This is the saddest thing you will realize in the result of your decisions.

An intriguing story that is worth reading by all. Please appreciate our short story for the day.
