RIDING THE SYSTEM
Uber is a ride-sharing smartphone application that originated in San Francisco,
California in 2009, founded by Travis Karanick and Garett Camp, to ease the
everyday commuters dilemma: hailing a cab. It was initally called UberBlacks
because it serviced its customers with black luxury cars in the SanFo area,
providing Uber riders with the experience of a chauffer ride.
It breached traditional government regulation by employing drivers who qualified
to operate an Uber unit according to the companys terms and conditions without
having to go through the rigorous process of applying a government franchise. In
less than four years, Uber has expanded its operations across the globe, starting in
Paris, to Asian cities including Metro Manila, and is now worth over $50 billion.
According to the terms and agreement of Uber operations, 20 percent of
your weekly earnings will automatically be remitted to Ubers online bank account.
Thats their share in the business, explains Velarde. Then 60 percent of what is
left in your Uber Wallet goes to the operator, and the rest go to the driver. He says
that there are days when his Uber driver meets the quota in the first four hours on
the road. As for the surgeor the conditional increase in Uber fares depending on

I drive a Honda Civic, but I only know
basic car maintenance. Car shows are
just fun. Iba yung vibe to have all these
car geeks around you. They are very
passionate and intense.
Do you agree when they say, Ah,

women driving and maintaining a
car?
I dont think girls are any less careful

are just less technical when it comes to

But ironically, more girls are

Well, that could be true for most of
us. Im a fan of sports cars, but if I
have the money for it, I wont drive a

Ever hear of the term one

someone does anything once
and never again. Sometimes
the single take is due to
massive failure, it could
also be too frightening to
do again; sometimes its
situationallike you cant
afford to throw that Project
X-level party one more
time because youre on the
barangay watchlist. But
in Shane Ramos case, its
because shes achieved her
dream to shoot like this and
tells us shes ready to move
on to the next thing right
away. Thats right, this is
the first and last time well
see herbut its one hell of a
memento.

I remember you told me this


is your first shoot that you
deemed sexy, why did you
wait so long?
I found that entering this kind
of industry is not easy, so it
took me a lot of courage to
finally decide to do this shoot
and upgrade my modeling
career even further.
And what convinced you to
do it?
What I did was ask my
mentors for advice. I
researched and asked around
to make sure of what to
expect with a shoot like this
and learned that entering
this comes with a lot of
responsibilities to carry.
Maintaining a sexy body and
healthy lifestyle must come
first now, ha ha! It also took
me a lot of time to boost my
confidence and self esteem.
You said you thought you
had nothing to show but we
really disagree with that.
Two obvious reasons are in
front of us right now
Ha ha! Minsan kasi

a point that where I asked
myself: Why not take the
break? Im very grateful for
this opportunity given to
me.

you ditched a ride and just walked around a neighborhood
at night? Take advantage of New Years good vibes and
roam under the lights of fireworks; heres the gameplan:
Uber your way to a hotspot to free yourself from the
tyranny of parking. Pick a random place, preferably with an
outdoor seat to keep your sense of adventure from being
dulled by the cold embrace of the A/C. Bounce over to a
different spot on foot and repeat. Most importantly, be well
dressed so people wont mistake you and your pals for a
bunch of vagrants.

others, and I used to go to all of their

promoting these events.

We have
boost!
The new Ford Focus welcomes you to
life with forced induction
WORDS: ASH MAHINAY

For 2016,
the new Ford
Focus has
gotten an
update to one
of the nicer exteriors in
the compact category,
and more importantly,
theyve ripped its
previous powerplant
out and plopped an
eager 1.5 liter EcoBoost
in. The average Pinoy
driver has probably
never driven a sedan (or
in this case, hatch) with
a turbo heart before, so
heres our guide to living
with forced induction.
We arent going to
explain how it actually
works, but rather how
youll feel it with your
butt in the drivers seat.

TURBOS AND THE HOW THIS AFFECTS

around 3000 RPM or more. thats always good, duh. W/0 TURBO CHARGER
A turbos effect is flattening

its boostthus giving you RPM
more power whenever you
need it.
GAS

108 FH M JANUARY 2016 facebook.com/FHM.ph twitter.com/fhmphil fhmphilofficial www.fhm.com.ph


WAIT, SO HOW IS IT ECONOMICAL?
Big honking engines, like the 5.0 in a Mustang for
example, have flatter power curves because of sheer
displacement, but they also carry a gas mileage penalty.
Whenever a turbo kicks in, it does use more fuel than
a non-blown enginebut since its not on all the time
either, you can still enjoy the frugality of that small
displacement motor when not getting on the gas. In this
case, the 180 PS and 240 Nm of torque from its 1.5
liter EcoBoost engine make it more powerful than an
equivalent naturally-aspirated 2.0.

DID WE MENTION IT CAN PARK ITSELF?


A self-driving car probably couldnt survive Manila traffic,
so Fords geeks have given the Focus self-parking
capabilities instead. The Enhanced Active Park Assist
lets you not just experience hands-off perpendicular and
parallel parking, but also Park-Out Assistbecause if its
robot brain can get you into a slot, then it sure as hell can
get you out of there. Come with me if you want to live.

been built in barangay Payatas in Quezon city.

in making their lives better, they will become the new
middle class, with education and money to spend.
Then they will buy a car. Brilliant.
