    “The Auto Focus Test Drive Festival returns with an even wider range of options to explore. As hybrid models continue to shape the future, a new direction in driving awaits. Reviews can tell you a lot—but nothing compares to the confidence you gain behind the wheel. That’s when you know you’ve made the right choice,”Gamboa told Zigwheels Philippines.

    To make driving home your new vehicle even easier, BPI Auto Loan will have a dedicated booth at the festival to offer the affordable deals for acquiring your dream car.

    Powered by BPI Auto Loan, the upcoming Auto Focus Multi-Brand Test Drive Festival will be held in cooperation with SM Offices and the SM MOA Complex.

    To note, the event started in 2005 and then transitioned to an outright test drive affair in 2014.
