MG Philippines has handed over two brand-new MG ZS units to two lucky winners of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation’s (MPTC) Download, Drive, and Win! promo.
The winners of the Download, Drive, and Win! promo are in
Remember that MPTC rolled out the promo back in November 2022 in a bid to increase the number of users of the MPT DriveHub app. Now, grand prize winners Bob Florendo Catamora and Consuelo Siscar already took home a brand-new MG ZS each, with the app as their ultimate road partner.
“The point of Download, Drive, and Win was to show our appreciation for our customers, and to reward them in a manner befitting the season, and I personally think we got our message across, especially given the hesitation we initially anticipated,” said MPTC President and CEO Rodrigo E. Franco.
Considering that the wheels fitted to the raffled MG ZS units don’t have a two-tone finish, MPTC has likely handed over one of the three Style variants. Standard in this model are features such as LED daytime running lights (DRLs), fog lamps, front airbags, and at least four speakers.

Apart from the MG ZS units, the promo also handed out cash prizes of Php 100,000 to ten other winners.
“It is our distinct honor to be part of this initiative with MPTC, knowing that the winners will soon embark on their best journeys yet behind the wheel of their brand-new MG ZS, and with the MPT DriveHub as their travel companion,” said The Covenant Car Company, Inc. (TCCCI) President and CEO Atty. Alberto B. Arcilla.
With the MPT DriveHub app, users can enjoy various functions on the go such as real-time RFID balance check and reloading, toll fee computation, traffic advisory, and emergency roadside assistance.
