Are right-hand cars allowed in the Philippines?

Is the RHD-to-LHD conversion industry still alive?

It wasn't long ago when every 5th car you see on the road was a "convert". The infamous Mitsubishi Delicado comes to mind.

But as recently as the other night, I still see trucks with RHD headlamps.

in Mindanao and the visayas there are shops still around and kicking w/c do conversions. they specialize on the cute kei vans and they also do all sorts of add-ons to entice potential customers.

if i'm not mistaken ang bagsakan niya somewhere sa davao del sur. malakas ang kapit sa nakaraan na admin ata kasi that's when i saw those vehicles make a return

i was told that when i was an infant, my dad brought home his first rhd pre-owned car from england. it was an old clunker called ford corsair. i think i still have snippets of memories about it, or baka manufactured na lang ng isip ko iyong mga iyon.

anyhow, nagsisi daw siya bakit niya binenta iyon even though sakit daw ng ulo niya. in fact, isang tao lang ang kaya mag maintain at mag-ayos nun. dinadayo niya pa sa sta mesa o somewhere sa quezon city iyong mekaniko - who eventually bought the jalopy from him kasi na-in love na daw siya doon sa kotse na iyon.
