However, HCPI has yet to announce if the the Civic Type R will be sold here in the Philippines.
Aside from the Type R, HCPI will launch the Civic sedan Modulo, BR-V Modulo, and the HR-V Mugen at the 2017 MIAS. HCPI added that they will display an exclusive version of its subcompact sedan called City MIAS Edition. How exclusive?
