Car Show Models at the 2nd Philippine International Motor Show

August 27, 2008 by admin 



MORE than the flash and magnificence of SUVs, luxury sedans, and small-but-terrible hatchbacks, the visual appeal of the 2nd Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) revolved around the tried-and-tested formula of celebrities, sports personalities, and enticingly clad promo models, all defining the glitzy motoring world.

The opening ceremonies at the World Trade Center, Pasay City last Aug. 21 was graced by no other than President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who attracted hordes of media and photographers. But the shutterbugs had more than they bargained for: a number of celebrity sightings during the four-day motoring event, along with the virtual feast of sexy models.

But the formula is no less than tested and unmistakable: glitzy cars and sexily clad models and promo girls – ranging from the classic mestiza to the exotic Brazilian beauties of Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. and the distinctly Pinay morenas of Nissan/Universal Motors Corp. The hiring spree of models for the 2nd PIMS has reportedly caused a shortage in local supply.

One of them is Ma. Lourdes Arervalo, a fresh Film graduate from the University of the Philippines, who enticed spectators in her blue midriff and hotpants at the “Honda: Driving Your Lifestyle” presentations. She and seven other car models dished out Honda’s marketing spiels and willingly posed for Kodak moments in the male-dominated trade space.

“I’m also into cars, fashion and photography so participating in this spectacle provides no less than a wide spectrum of new experiences,” Ms. Arevalo said.

Trooping the 2nd PIMS are huge barkadas, mostly young, single male professionals. A landscape engineer and a self-professed bachelor at 28, Ricky Coronado of Valle Verde, Pasig City said his expectations of the motoring event were exceeded.

“The girls in their tight jumpsuits and choreographed numbers are a sight to behold! Now would you even ask me why I’m spending a Thursday here?” Mr. Coronado said. (Text from Media Release of the 2nd Philippine International Motor Show)

    Is this the best car show in Manila or is it Manila Auto Salon to get pics of the models? I might be back in Manila to see friends on May of next year, maybe I can hold until August because the models are hot!

    Is there a car show in May? Thanks!
