PLDT myDSL brings the thrill of drifting

MANILA, Philippines - Fans of speed got a rush of excitement during the latest rounds of the Lateral Drift Championship Pro-Am Series, turbocharged by PLDT myDSL. The only telco that can bring the thrill of drifting, myDSL joined in on the action last Sept. 10 and 11 at the Clark International Speedway in line with its own speed upgrade of up to 5MBPS for its subscribers.

All drivers performed heart-stopping stunts at mind-blowing speeds to keep spectators on their toes. At the end of Round 6, Boodie Dabasol of Team D’ Dancers nabbed first place, pioneer drifter Audel Sison of Fern-C Autocraft Drift came in second, and Raymond Ronquillo of R33 AutoExchange came in third. Round 7 saw Ryan Agoncillo grab the championship for Team Yellow Cab, while teammate Kevin “Bad News” Tayao came in second, and Wonderboy of Drifting Gio Rodriguez of Team Gladesport Falken Drift placed third.

Five-time Lateral Drift champion and PLDT myDSL endorser Alex Perez of Team Yellow Cab suffered a bit of bad luck when his car caught fire during his run, but is ready to defend his title from the previous legs of the series in Rounds 8 and 9 on Oct. 8 and 9 in Parang, Marikina. Spotted in the audience were Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo who was there to cheer on husband Ryan and his Yellow Cab teammates, and DJ Pacho Blanco of the former show radio show Counterflow on NU107.
