My father asked me to renew his car registration this month because he is too busy to go to the LTO. I found out that you can renew online, but when I checked his LTO portal, the car was not listed. This means I have to visit a physical branch. I also tried to buy CTPL insurance through GCash, but I stopped because my name appeared as the insured person since my father does not have an account. Is it okay to buy CTPL for my father if the car details are correct? Also, can I renew the registration for him and link the vehicle to his portal account at the same time?

I plan to buy a car soon because I will be settling down in a few months. I haven't picked a specific brand yet, but I am open to a sedan, hatchback, or SUV. I want a model from 2020 or newer that is durable enough to last a long time. However, please do not suggest a Toyota Wigo, my parents had one, and I did not enjoy the driving experience.

Do you think I will have many options in this year range? I want to avoid buying a brand new car if it is above my budget because I already have a home loan and cannot afford to add another high monthly payment.
