Ford Sta Rosa wins South African market

As I ate dinner with my mother in law last night at a local food chain here in Sta Rosa, this was the business news headline. Indeed it is worth it. Ford Philippines has just bagged a contract to supply flexible fuel engines to the South African market - a booming 600,000 units a year average. It bested Ford factories in China, Mexico and Spain. Whoa! Now this will definitely trickle down to more jobs (steady jobs at that!) and more economic activity here for the Sta Rosa locals. Make way for the Detroit state of the Philippines! Now this again fortifies Sta Rosa as the in place to be. Brittany's Georgia Club is located at the heart of Sta Rosa - its charming South American home themes surrounded by age old trees will be a perfect home for those who want to be closer to their home with the benefits of a suburban lifestyle. Kudos to Ford Philippines.
