The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Dr. Rolly Cinco and Atty. Steve Pastor became the two new owners of the brand new Jetour Ice Cream electric vehicles after winning in the raffle in the 20th APT Cup last Nov. 29.
The two cars were initially for hole-in-one prizes in the tournament among close comrades and colleagues of tournament sponsor and former Department of Transportation secretary Art Tugade. But no one won them at the greens and were raffled off afterwards. APT Cup officials handed the brand-new cars to their new owners during simple rites at Jetour Auto Alabang last month.
“The Jetour Ice Cream EV has created awareness in helping address the issue of climate change by reducing carbon footprints through electric vehicles,” said Sec. Tugade. “Komportable na sa biyahe, ayos pa sa bulsa.”
The APT Cup is a merry and casual golf tournament among the friends and associates of the transportation department’s former chief. In attendance this year were Tugade’s past colleagues in government service, which included then-executive secretary Medialdea, Senator Mark Villar, former defense secretary Delfin Lorenzana, ex-energy secretary Alfonso Cusi, and chairman and resident representative-designate of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO) and former labor secretary Bebot Bello III.
Jetour Auto Philippines Inc. is the sole and official distributor of Jetour vehicles and services in the country that sells the seven-seater X70 in Journey, Travel, and Sport variants, the seven-seater X70 Plus, the Dashing subcompact crossover, and the Ice Cream.
