Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the country’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, reached another major milestone with the inauguration of its 800th store — the newly opened Transcycle Bagac, Bataan branch, operated by Gentrade International Philippines, Inc. (GIPI).
The expansion reflects Honda’s enduring promise to make world-class mobility and after-sales service more accessible to every Filipino rider, especially in key growth areas outside Metro Manila.

The branch also features a fully equipped service bay with genuine Honda tools and parts, operated by trained mechanics ensuring premium-quality maintenance. While waiting, customers can relax in the comfort lounge, complete with complimentary Wi-Fi and refreshments — making every visit both productive and enjoyable.
