MANILA: VinFast Philippines has given 303 prizes, which totaled some P5.1 million, to the winners of its electric vehicle (EV) design voting contest — PiliPinas.

According to the local wing of the Vietnamese electric car company, more than 20,000 people participated in the program, which it claims reflected “the strong appeal of VinFast models and reinforces that green mobility is becoming an essential and sensible choice in the Philippines.”

VinFast Philippines held a live broadcast awards ceremony, where it presented three grand prizes worth P150,000 each. These were awarded to participants who correctly predicted the most favored design and the total number of votes.

In addition, 20 prizes worth P40,000 to P80,000 each were awarded to those who had the closest predictions for the VinFast VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9 results.

The program also offered 130 gifts worth P15,000 each for 130 individuals who submitted their own design concepts, along with 150 lucky draw gifts worth P10,000 each for participants who took part in the voting.

“With our customer-centric philosophy, VinFast wants Filipinos to become true co-creators of the electric vehicles that will soon be seen on Philippine streets. Each and every selection and idea submitted inspires us to develop vehicles that reflect the Filipino spirit: resilient, steadfast, and always striving for a better future,” VinFast Southeast Asia Chief Executive Officer Antonio Zara was quoted as saying.

The people have spoken

The PiliPinas EV design voting contest by VinFast Philippines ran for two weeks, from October 24 to November 7.

Per the EV manufacturer, the stint attracted more than 20,000 votes, thousands of direct participants, and more than one hundred unique design submissions from across large and small islands throughout the Philippines.

“People across the Philippines enthusiastically voted for the designs they liked most to share their preferences with VinFast and express their personal tastes. The contest illustrated how Filipinos envision the electric vehicles they want to own and how these designs could shape the future of transportation in the country,” VinFast Philippines wrote in a press release.

VinFast Philippines also pointed out that fairness and transparency were key pillars of the contest.

There were 50 official design options, including detailed interior and exterior visuals, which were published so that people could vote independently and objectively.

Voting was made accessible both online and through thirty physical ballot boxes placed nationwide.

The carmaker believes that the high turnout and the close competition among design options highlight the strong appeal of the new design portfolio and VinFast’s deep understanding of Philippine consumer tastes.
