MANILA: Recently, Indonesians witnessed the GIIAS 2016 and now it’s time for the Filipinos to gear up for the 6th Philipinne International Motor Show. In June, we gave you a brief about the upcoming event and now we have official word from the organizers. The Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) has been working for the upcoming event from quite a long time and has reached the final stage of preparations for presenting the sixth edition with a bigger impact than the last edition.

Last year the theme of the show was “Progress In Motion” and focused on highlighting the role of automotive industry in boosting economy of the country. This year, the show will follow the “Steer The Future” theme and tagline “Driving Progress, Empowering Society”. This year too, the organizers will try to highlight the progress of automotive industry of the Philippines and highlight the contributions made by automotive industry towards the economic growth. PIMS will take place at the World Trade Center from September 14-18, 2016.

Further, we aim to contribute to the country’s economic progress through the development of the auto industry of the Philippines.
