(Official Road Test Press  Release)

Produced by VoicePro Productions, the company that brought the highly-popular musical-talk show "Chacha 101...Music & More" to the Cebuanos, in cooperation with MediaOne Creative Inc. - RCTV 36, Road test is a magazine program devoted to featuring automobiles and other kinds of vehicles, whether four-wheeled, two-wheeled, or what have you.

Conceptualized by Jigs Arquiza, automobile enthusiast and section esitor of Sun.Star Weekend, Cebu's number one newspaper, Road Test aims to bring the car dealership to one's home by providing a close look at the cars presently offered in the market.

The television program also seeks to satisfy the car lover's thirst for information regarding classic and collectible cars by showcasing excellent examples of notable automobile models. These will be sourced from Cebuano car collectors or car owners who also share Jig's vision of a motoring show expressly designed for the Cebuano audience.

A Total Partnership

Presented by Total Philippines Corporation, one of the Philippines' leading fuel brands as well as a company with worldwide renown, Road Test shares Total's commitment towards promoting road safety and proper driving practices.

By partnering with Total Philippines Corporation, Road Test seeks to remind motorists that driving is a privilege, not a right. With its segment "Total Road Safety," the producers aspire to educate Filipino drivers about safe driving habits, which the producers hope would result in a more disciplined and safe environment.

The segment also seeks to elevate the level of competency of the average Filipino driver in all aspects of driving, from road safety, to vehicle maintenance, to a complete understanding of traffic laws and regulations, as well as proper driving techniques and troubleshooting and repair tips.

Fresh Faces For a Fresh Perspective

Road Test's hosts, Paul Kiener and Divine Maitland-Smith, offer a very youthful approach to an appreciation of both automobile and best practices.

Both attractive and intelligent, Paul and Divine personify best the look and attitude of the program.

Very popular with Cebu's younger set, yet still known to the older generation, the two hosts will put forward the concept of safe driving as a lifestyle, and that one need not drive fast and reckless to be "cool."
