2. Thou shall take time to bask in the glory of these amazing pavilions prepared by CAMPI-member brands.
All the 17 participating members of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI) definitely made sure their booths, or fondly called as ‘pavilions’, will catch eyes of those in thousands of attendance. Take time in staying within the corners of these pavilions. You might even see a celebrity checking out a car as well (and eventually ask them for a picture since it’s a bit automatic haha)
The downward-sloping road inspired booth of the Asian Carmakers Corporation, the official distributor of BMW in the Philippines
With cotton clouds w/ hanging action figures hovering over Daewoo and CMANC’s pavilion filled with benches, their booth somehow transformed into a park with attendees using it as place to rest.
First-timer PIMS exhibitor, Volkswagen Philippines, delighted the attendees with their pure white-clad pavilion with all their “adorable” (for me) vehicles, including the Beetle!
With this company’s foray into the local basketball scene with the KIA Sorento team, KIA reinforced this news with their basketball court-themed area.
I think Lexus PH seems to have the largest booth (or maybe within the Top 3) among all exhibitors with its well-spaced and elegantly-designed booth donned as well with their stunning models.
With a big red halo suspended above the booth of the brand whose “innovation excites”, Nissan surely attracted many visitors especially with the launch of their new X-Trail.
Situated somewhere at the heart of the World Trade Center, you’ll find the French brand Peugeot’s fashion runway-inspired pavilion whose car lineup will make you say au revoir.
3 . Thou shall appreciate the beauty of humanity.
Beautiful people are everywhere at PIMS. They are all very nice too! (Just one reminder: Please, don’t be too creepy by taking pictures of them like a sneaky little kid. Kindly approach them for a picture of them or with them 🙂 )
The beauty of the Peugeot RCZ beside the beauty of a lady.
The very friendly duo of Daewoo and CMANC’s pavilion.

The brand new 2015 Lexus NX with one of the very sophisticated-looking women of Lexus’ pavilion.
4. Thou shall have fun with all the activities available when you don’t know what to do with your life at PIMS anymore.
Segway rides, go kart rides, Gran Turismo 6 racing simulations, racing arcade games, contests of car brands- make sure to try as many of these things to maximize your time at the motor show 🙂
The arcade racing available at Daewoo and CMANC’s pavilion
Go Kart racing available for P100 for 5 mins
These Gran Turismo 6 racing sets are available in many booths around PIMS. You’ll also get to win special prizes if you manage to get high scores or become #1!
Get to try these “segways” for P100 for 5 minutes of fun
The lone booth where you can shoot hoops for fun
OR YOU CAN BASK IN THE GLORY OF GUNDAM’S GREATNESS
5. Thou shall ‘make hakot hakot’ all pamphlets, brochures and other freebies available.
Your P100 (at most) entrance fee can get you further with all the free stuff at PIMS! From the thick booklet of Mercedes-Benz to the free “air-filled” eco-bags, free fans and ballpens, they will surely be helpful sometime in the future! :))
Cedric signing-up at the Honda booth. Guess what he got? A eco-bag with a ballpen and a fan! Well, that’s also around P40 pesos in savings haha
These are what we brought home and this is just probably less than 50% of the tangible objects that you can get for free at PIMS 🙂
