Isuzu mu-X RZ4E 4x2 LS AT incentives & grants

No national cash purchase rebate in the Philippines (unlike Thailand's EV3.5). EV support is tax/tariff relief already baked into the sticker price (EVIDA 0% CBU import tariff to 2028; 0% excise on pure BEVs) plus non-cash perks (number-coding/UVVRP exemption, priority LTO registration) — none of it is a cheque, so none is in the totals above.
