Rico Blanco, Gretchen Ho are first Geely brand ambassadors in PH

MANILA: Last July 3, Sojitz G Auto Philippines (SGAP) officially announced TV host/news personality, Gretchen Ho and singer/songwriter, Rico Blanco as the founding brand ambassadors of Geely Philippines.

In a Zoom meeting with the SGAP officials, Ho and Blanco shared their enthusiasm in showing all the high-quality vehicles that Geely has to offer to its valued customers.

Blanco stated that Geely Coolray is one of the most extraordinary cars. Nevertheless, people are not confident enough to try it out, and he believes that this is their task as brand ambassadors.

Ho added that she also goes for something unique, different, and remarkable when it comes to vehicles. She also thinks that Geely has a budding potential in the country as an auto brand.

Rico Blanco is grateful and honored to be one of the first customers to notice and believe in the auto brand before becoming one of its endorsers.

According to him, he feels that this collaboration is meant to happen since he was able to find Geely in the middle of his three-month search for a car. He also did some research on the vehicle.

The singer/songwriter also recalled how he immediately realized that Geely is the brand suited for him. This is because he needed a vehicle that would be small and agile yet powerful. Thus, when the Coolray was delivered to him, he did not feel the need to go on full throttle when he stepped on the pedal for the first time.

Blanco also pointed out that, thanks to his personal experience as a Geely vehicle owner, he was able to put his trust in the brand. He described the specs as “killer,” and that nothing in the price range would have such appointments inside, boast exceptional speed, and comfortable leather seating.

As for Ho, she said that being a woman of action, she is excited to drive her Geely around and go to her planned destinations using the vehicle.

SGAP wishes to proceed with this trend through the emphasis on the acquisition of the people’s trust through reliable partners and high-quality services and products. It is also prepared to enhance the quality and reputation that Geely has built in the Philippine automotive sector.

As a new auto brand, Geely has been seeing warm market response in the country. According to the first-quarter reports from the Association of Vehicle Importers and Distributors (AVID) and the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI) this year, Geely is ranked third in terms of B-segment SUVs.
