Ciaz Revealed as Next Suzuki Car Model for Philippine Market

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It has been confirmed at a media thanksgiving held at the Hyve located at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Tagig city on December 8, 2015, the Suzuki Ciaz, a quite larger than subcompact sedan, was revealed as the next car model to reach the Philippine market soon.

The announcement was personally shared by Shuzo Hoshikura, Suzuki Philippines General Manager before the media thanksgiving night ended.

They said the Ciaz was developed to replace the Suzuki SX4 Sedan in the Asian market. At one glance, you will realize just how big and wide the Ciaz is. According to an earlier report, the Maruti-made sedan has two powerplants: a 1.4-liter gasoline engine, and a 1.3-liter diesel mill. The gas engine generates 91hp and 130Nm, and the diesel version puts out 89hp and 200Nm.

Its elegant design creates a superior aesthetic appeal while its aerodynamic style adds a stunning effect to its looks.

The all-new Maruti Ciaz looks similar to that of the Honda City, Hyundai Verna and others in the C-segment. Having several best-in-class features, the Ciaz is one of the better looking Maruti Cars. With a claimed mileage of 26.21Km/l, the Ciaz is also a fuel-efficient vehicle.

Paul Cheng Scheduled to Fight Brandon Vera Instead of Chi Lewis-Parry

Whatever happened to the supposed to be opponent of Brandon "The Truth" Vera? The One Championship fight night would now have a different match against Vera because of unclear reasons.

After multiple requests made by ONE directly to Chi Lewis-Parry and his manager over the last few weeks, Parry has failed to submit his medical results and his drug tests for the fight this Friday. Additionally, he decided not to board the plane departing from London to Manila.  He will not be fighting this Friday.

But do not worry because Vera's fight will continue as scheduled but against a different opponent. We are fortunate that someone immediately agreed to go against Vera with very little notice.

The next top HW contender, Paul Cheng will be stepping in for the World Championship fight against Brandon Vera.  Can China claim its first ever Heavyweight World Champion or will the hometown hero make it a storybook win for Filipinos?

One FC Fighters Vera, Striegl, Julaton Showcase Wares at Open Workout

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Just a few days ahead of ONE Championship’s annual year-end show in Manila, Philippines, Filipino Mixed Martial Arts superstars Brandon “The Truth” Vera, Mark “Mugen” Striegl and Ana “Hurricane” Julaton appeared at the KMA Fitness Gym in Makati to showcase their skills to invited media in an ‘open workout.’

The trio will represent the Philippines, along with a posse of local fighters, at ONE: SPIRIT OF CHAMPIONS, which takes place Friday, December 11 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

“I just can’t wait to kick his ass,” said Vera, who will be competing for the inaugural ONE Heavyweight World Championship against former English pro-basketball player, Chi “Chopper” Lewis-Parry.

“I’ve never been in shape like this. I’ve never been this big and my body fat has never been this low. My cardio’s never been this high. My confidence is through the roof with this,” Vera added.

“You need to train 1000% all the time -- 500% training and the other 500% you need to take care of your body.”

The life of a fighter is a long and arduous one, with countless nights spent in a sweltering gym, wailing away at leather, honing a craft that will be ultimately responsible for either victory or defeat.
