With a bullish buying market, CAMPI has reported that the 9th PIMS has concluded on a high note, drawing a record-breaking crowd of approximately 42,000 attendees throughout its four-day event from October 24-27 at the World Trade Center.

The event highlighted a range of groundbreaking vehicles and innovations, unveiled across participating brands including its first-ever global premiere. Each brand showcased its commitment to sustainability, safety, and innovation tailored to the Filipino market, from cutting-edge electric vehicles to bold design concepts and intelligent driving systems.

Special Guest of Honor at the Opening Ceremony was Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Jaime Bautista, who addressed the transformative role of the automotive industry in sustainable transport solutions. His presence underscored the alignment between PIMS and the government’s initiatives to promote innovation in transportation and mobility.

In line with its mission to drive forward not just automotive excellence but also social responsibility, CAMPI is donating PHP 500,000 to the Angat Buhay Foundation, extending aid to victims of Typhoon Kristine.
