Honda was the third biggest seller of cars in the Philippines in the first eight months of the year with 9,062 units sold, or 9.7% of the market, according to the local auto industry association

Don't sell many cars there at all.

Comes out to 57 cars a day or 7 cars an hour. This is assuming a 5 day a week 8 hour day. Could they not find the parts elsewhere?
