Car culture is indeed more fun in the Philippines! This is evident by a slew of car shows happening in various parts of the country, all year round.
Aside from the big and established motor shows like the Manila International Auto Show or the Philippine International Auto Show, there are a handful of car shows held in locations not commonly used for big car events. One example of this is Valenzuela City from the north of Metro Manila.
Guys, the Valenzuela Auto Show has made its triumphant return! Now on its 3rd staging, the 2023 Valenzuela Auto Show was held last June 24, right in the heart of the city’s Puregold branch parking lot.
According to City Mayor WES Gatchalian whose enthusiasm for cars and love for car culture was keenly felt, motor shows such as the one he led is not just a celebration of automotive excellence, but most importantly, a celebration of the Filipino automotive arts and craftsmanship, showcased by many customized car entries that wowed the crowd.
