May 2nd, 2025. TG Motors Philippines, Subic Gigafactory.
In an office inside an under-construction executive building, the smell of fresh paint still lingered in the air. The glass windows were half-covered with protective film, overlooking the massive assembly floor below where engineers in hard hats moved like ants among skeletal machinery. Scaffolds, cranes, and half-installed conveyor systems filled the view.
Timothy sat at the head of a long temporary conference table, his sleeves rolled up, a blueprint of the gigafactory's interior layout spread open before him. Around him sat the executives of TG Motors Philippines.
On the large display screen mounted against the wall, the rest of the TG Mobility Holdings Co. board appeared via live video conference from Manila and Singapore.
