The Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI), formally opened the much-awaited 5th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), a 4-day motoring event happening on September 18-21 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

The opening ceremony was led by no less than Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade, Industry & Entrepreneurship. He was joined by key officials of CAMPI members and affiliates as well as delegates of the ASEAN Automotive Product Working Group.

“This year’s Philippine International Motor Show goes beyond being a world-class motoring convergence, more importantly, it’s a demonstration of how the automotive industry plays a significant role in shaping this nation’s progress,” says Sen. Aquino IV.

On its 5th year, PIMS brings together unique exhibits from (17) top car manufacturers and distributors in the country, and serves as the perfect platform to champion the exponential growth of the motoring industry.

“PIMS is the perfect demonstration of the successes that the Philippine motoring industry has achieved over the years. We enjoyed double-digit growth since 2011, and we have no plans of letting up” says Atty. Rommel Gutierrez, President of CAMPI.

What kind of ex-boyfriend with a new girl decided to have a secret relationship with her ex-girlfriend? They still do have feelings for each other but circumstances interfered, that’s the reason.

Before Chandria became an agent, she was shy and uncomfortable with many things around her. Every time she kills a target she doesn't shed a tear not only because she is trained but also because she is angry with herself that she was not brave enough before, that is why many unfortunate things happened to her. As an agent she should be aware of all the moves her target will do so that she won’t fail the mission like the mother who tried to secretly reach for the knife.

When she saw the mother’s child, it was said that she showed no sympathy toward the kid because if she did, she might forget the traits of an agent and her old traits will come back. And she doesn’t want the old shy and weak Chandria. She only thinks that the kid doesn’t deserve to lose her mother like that because back then, her parents were killed and she was left under her grandmother’s care.

Chandria’s rude attitude toward Ed tells that Ed isn’t a very kind or nice person. As their boss, Ed needs to push his agents to things they don’t want to do. Maybe every time Chandria says she give up, Ed is always there to say “No. You can’t”.
