Get Your Dream TOYOTA with Balloon Payment Plus

Looks like TOYOTA is making it easier and more attractive for you to own your dream car. Well, let's just say I saw this offer online earlier and by the looks of it, it sounds mighty nice. They call it Balloon Payment Plus. This is offered by house financing corp, Toyota Financial Services Philippines. Basically, when you get a car from them using this option, it will come with periodic maintenance during the finance term and really nice end of term options. 

How nice? Your car basically has a guaranteed future value so if you fancy a new car in the future (when your financing term is ending), you can use that value to pay for your brand new car. Like for instance, you've got a 20 to 30 percent of the vehicle price as down payment. If you choose a 24-month finance term, you can get 45 percent lump sum amount of the vehicle price, plus get a resale value at 55%. That's already quite high to tell you honestly, and it rids you of all the problems of getting a new car (which you like) and none of the mumbo jumbo of thinking how to resell your previous one. Sounds good? It is.

Participating cars include all Toyota Vios varieties, the Corolla Cross 1.8V Hybrid car, the Toyota Hilux (MC) Conquest, G, E and all the Toyota Fortuner (MC) models. So if you want to avail one, or more, go check out toyota.com.ph/balloon-payment-plus. You can also get in touch with them via 02-7757-8500 or their email addy feedback@toyotafinancial.ph or their site toyotafinancial.ph.

Firework Accidents Down 25% says DOH

Despite campaigns and warnings from the government, hard headed pinoys still go out and do their own thing. When would they ever learn!

The Department of Health in the Philippines issued reports this evening that incidents of firework accidents went down 25 percent this year. These are good figures and I think the rain and drizzles around the metro contributed to these figures by the National Epidemiology Center of the same department. Upto 346 firecracker related injuries were only reported. This is the lowest it has become in this decade.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque said that the rain showers contributed a lot aside from the rigorous campaign their office made before the celebrations. The global financial crisis was also to blame for the smart spending of people he added. They however are still in their Code White alert on government and private hospitals until January 5 this year because they expect victims to arrive even after the new year's eve. 241 got tolerable minor wounds, 18 had their limbs severed while 76 had their eyes stricken.

The dreaded piccolo was still at the head of the pack followed by rockets, five star, light sticks, whistle bombs and about 9 people were reportedly hit by stray bullets according to local police. How I wish Filipinos would stop buying them and resort to more spectacular fireworks in malls and other nice venues. That would be much better! I hope we get 0 victims in a couple of years.
