Volkswagen Philippines Grandeur Launch and Weekend Display

If you were to ask me, I most definitely had fun during the launch of Volkswagen Philippines.

And even more when I had the chance to bond and chat with fellow bloggers like Flow Galindez and Richard Paglicawan while we were on our way to Ayala Museum for an after party.

But you see, there's something more about re-establishing Volkswagen's presence in the Philippine market. And it's safe to say that it wasn't just me and my friends who had fun and were so thrilled to welcome Volkswagen back in the Philippines, but almost everyone!

Like these few Tweets, from a thousand more, posted on Twitter.

After the grandeur launch last September 27, the fun continues as Volkswagen cars were display at Greenbelt Park from September 28-29.

Along with the Win A Car promo where participants can get a chance to win and be the first owner of the 21st century Volkswagen Beetle by online registration and answer seven (7) trivia questions scattered on most Volkswagen car display at Greenbelt.

Here are some photos I borrowed from Instagram:

On top of it, a Volkswagen Ecological Driven Photo Booth were set up for families and friends to enjoy.

Just look at those smiles! :)

Bands like Pedicab and RJ Jimenez rocked the weekend as the crowd enjoyed their music while finishing their trivia questions to win the 21st Century Volkswagen Beetle!

Kids and kids-at-heart were also at the Racing Pavilion playing the VW racing games.

So there you go! Need I say more? :)

Volkswagen Philippine's first dealership showroom is now open and located at 938 28th Street City Center, Bonifacio Global City Taguig.

Volkswagen Philippines: The Time is Now Grand Launch! (Part 2)

Last Friday, it felt like all roads led to the Ayala Avenue to witness the official and grand launch of the world's best-loved car brand in the Philippines—Volkswagen! 

Volkswagen (VW) is Ayala Group of companies' third auto brand, with investments in Honda Cars Philippines and Isuzu Philippines, that came at a time when the country's economy is on high and upswing.

As promised, let me take you to the grandeur launch of Volkswagen Philippines!
This was my view, so please excuse my photos. :)

But before I continue, WATCH THIS!



President of Ayala Automotive Holdings John Philip Orbeta opened the event and graced all guests.

And introduced Weiming Soh, ASEAN Volkswagen AG President for Commercial Operations, who made a grand entrance by driving a well-preserved vintage Volkswagen beetle.

“The time to come back to the Philippines is now. The Asean market, including the Philippines, is the next frontier for Volkswagen in the Asia Pacific Region. We are very excited to reconnect with the Filipino market, knowing how well loved Volkswagen is in the Philippines. Volks, being a status icon here, as it is around the world, is like no other car before or after.” said Weiming Soh.

He, then, introduced the President and Chief Operations Officer of Ayala Corporation, Fernando Zobel de Ayala who was driving a gorgeous Volkswagen 21st-Century convertible Beetle Cabriolet! 

“We cannot think of a better time to bring Volkswagen back to the Philippines. There is exciting growth in the automotive industry and there is a very positive outlook for the country,” said Fernando Zobel de Ayala.

Volkswagen Philippines plans to open six more dealerships next year, with its first showroom at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig that has currently 28 Volkswagen units and with 70 units more arriving within the next few weeks—with the first service center along Sheridan Street in Mandaluyong City.

And according to Soh, "A strong partner is critical to our success. Hence, I am personally delighted that we have forged an alliance with the Ayala Group. Together with Ayala Corp., let us all celebrate the return of the original ‘People’s Car."

And there's this car show.
It's like a couture fashion show, but in Volkswagen cars!
