Hyundai Motor Philippines, Inc. (HMPH) is putting up its latest dealership facility in Marilao, Bulacan. No date of completion was stated by the company, but the establishment’s inauguration already took place last July 28.

This dealership is being established in partnership with the ANC+ Group Of Companies (ANC), HMPH’s latest partner. During the event, HMPH Dongwook Lee personally greeted ANC and the city of Marilao into its roster of dealerships.
“Hyundai Motor wishes to contribute and help accelerate the progress in the province of Bulacan through innovative and sustainable products, spaces, and services. So, we look forward to working alongside ANC on this.”
HMPH says that the provinces around Metro Manila have grown into highly urbanized clusters over the years. Bulacan is one of these provinces and it has been deemed a strategic location for the company due to being home to several industrial estates and parks. To this end, Hyundai is determined to address the mobility needs of this location.
With the construction of Hyundai Marilao, Bulaceños will have better access to HMPH’s lineup of models including the Creta, Tucson, Santa Fe, Stargazer, and Staria, among others.

As for HMPH’s new dealer partner, ANC, it has been in the automotive business since 1998 and as of the moment, is one of the largest dealership conglomerates in the country. It is led by its President and Chairman, Anthony Cheng, who was likewise present at the Hyundai Marilao groundbreaking ceremony.
Besides Hyundai, ANC has dealer facilities for numerous other car brands. Currently, it operates multiple dealerships for Ford, Geely, Honda, Kia, Mazda, MG, Peugeot, Suzuki, and Volvo.
After Hyundai Marilao, ANC will further deepen its relationship with HMPH by establishing another Hyundai dealership in Abad Santos, Manila. According to the company, this next outlet is set to open in the first quarter of 2024.
