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.

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.

As such, we are honored to be here to celebrate your anniversary. We feel as if we grew up together,” Kiyofuji said.
