Last July 25, Throttle Philippines, the first App-based interactive motoring magazine in the Philippines, kicked off in a testosterone packed party that saw the gathering of elite hardcore motorcycling clubs and muscle motorcycle displays. Proudly developed by an all-Filipino team, Throttle Philippines was built to give Filipinos everywhere a fast and easy access to the latest news and updates in the motoring industry.
“The motorcycle industry is growing very fast in the Philippines. We believe it will continue to grow and that saturation is still very far from happening,” says Nelby Oquendo, Marketing Manager for Throttle Philippines. She added, “our team came out with Throttle Philippines because there is clearly a distribution challenge preventing good materials from reaching more readers. Application usage is highly ubiquitous in the Philippines, where there are about 18 free apps being installed every day, among them are 4 paid apps on an average. Apart from that, the Philippines is easily the the fastest growing smartphone market in the region, therefore, our advocacy to provide free information is highly doable.”
For enthusiasts, Throttle Philippines will be published monthly, with 12 issues a year. And this August is a special month as their maiden issue comes out. Enjoy a feature of 11 sections that promises easy-to-read features, covering well-known motorcyclists, local and international motorcycling events, safety riding tips, motorcycle fashion pictorials, latest top-of-the-line gadget reviews and upgrades, exciting ride destinations, and most of all, the latest two-wheeled machines that are sure to make waves in the market.
