Honda was the third biggest seller of cars in the Philippines with 9,062 units sold, or 9.7 per cent of the market in the first eight months of the year. Three months of unusually heavy rains and a failure to release enough water from dams have caused Thailand's worst floods in half a century, which killed 437 people and submerged large parts of the country.
