I've been a regular customer of BPI for 7 years. Good to know that they supported this kind of advocacy as part of corporate responsibility. As well as AAP where I got my international license in less than an hour. On its QC office last 2008 for amazing race and international contest requirements. They also give free towing for that one and stickers as you get the license.
