The government, with the help of local automotive parts makers, will try to convince Taiwanese motorcycle manufacturers to make the Philippines their production hub in their foray in the Southeast Asian market.

Dita Angara-Mathay, director of commercial affairs of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (Meco) in Taipei, said Taiwanese firms are now training their sights on the 500-million Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) market, where there is a rapidly growing preference for two-wheeled vehicles.

In the Philippines alone, Angara-Mathay said there are about 1,000 motorcycles being registered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) daily.

With its focus on Asean, Angara-Mathay said the fully integrated motorcycle-manufacturing industry of Taiwan would naturally look for a location in the region which would host their plants that would serve the market.

“The Taiwanese want their manufacturing to be near their market. So we are positioning the Philippines as their Asean hub,” Angara-Mathay said.

Meco, they said, will start bringing local parts makers to Taiwan in April to help in convincing the Taiwanese that the Philippines is a viable manufacturing destination for them.

The domestic parts industry, they said, will talk to potential Taiwanese partners who would surely find the Philippine proposition advantageous because they would be able to access the Asean market at the preferential tariff rates under the Asean Free Trade Agreement.

A cheap chain might provide a visual deterrent, but any reasonably competent thief will be able to cut through it with a pair of bolt-cutters. It’s worth investing a little extra money in a high quality chain made from thick, hardened steel, which will be able withstand bolt cutters and hacksaws – the only way through the best chains is to use a noisy angle grinder, and even this can take a long time.

While some chains feature integral locks to attach the ends together, generally speaking the best security is provided by a separate padlock. A good quality padlock will itself be manufactured from hardened steel and will have a sophisticated lock that can’t easily be forced open, and the shackle should be shielded so that when the lock is attached to the chain, no part of the shackle can be easily attacked.

Good quality motorcycle security will also be fitted with a soft fabric sleeve so that it cannot scratch or damage your bike’s paintwork. You should also consider transportation – it is unsafe to ride with a chain slung over your shoulder, so think about whether it will easily fit under the seat, or if it comes supplied with some sort of carry case that can be secured to the bike.

Finally, remember that a motorcycle security chain is only one component of your bike’s security system. If you’re serious about protecting your bike, you need to make it as tough as possible for a thief to remove it, so don’t forget to look at the different kinds of motorcycle security products on the market that will help to make your bike such a hard target that nobody will waste their time trying to steal it.
