IT feels like just yesterday when the Covid-19 pandemic profoundly impacted all of our lives, confining us to the safety of our homes. And now, remarkably, we find ourselves back in the midst of the rapid pace of life. Although a little over a year has passed since quarantine protocols were relaxed, I can't help but notice that the energy I had conserved during those pandemic-induced moments of isolation has already dissipated.

Fortunately, Chery Auto Philippines (CAP) came to the rescue by extending an invitation to select members of the motoring media. They organized a trip to Northern Luzon, offering us the chance to experience the all-new Chery Tiggo 5xPro Hybrid firsthand. This unexpected opportunity was a refreshing break that rekindled my automotive enthusiasm.
