The My Geely Story contest, as per its name, showcased Geely owners’ stories which revolved around their most cherished moments and memories together with their cars. It not only served to highlight their love for the brand, but it also contributed to a meaningful fundraiser.
Those who won the My Geely Story include Standley Bernardo in first place with his “Live at First Car” story. In second place is John Hans O. Caturas with his story entitled “Search for the Perfect Compact SUV.” Coming in third place, meanwhile, is Louie Bejer with his “Travel Memories with the Bronx.” Of note, all of these ownership stories can be viewed via the official GCCPH Facebook group.
During the event, outgoing SGAP President and CEO Yugo Kiyofuji expressed his gratitude to GCCPH. “You are the ones who first believed in our brand, loved it, and supported it ever since. As such, we are honored to be here to celebrate your anniversary. We feel as if we grew up together,” Kiyofuji said.
