Mitsubishi Philippines' Life Kyaraban at Glorietta Activity Center
MMPC President and CEO Takeshi Hara explained that Life Kyaraban is a fusion of two concepts, and is not a typical car display.
“Life Kyaraban is a fusion of two concepts. ‘Life’ that echoes Mitsubishi Motors’ commitment to add value and further enrich the lives of Filipinos. Then ‘kyaraban’, which actually means caravan in Nihongo, representing our commitment to reach customers in all parts of the country,” Hara said.
MMPC’s car display will be at Glorietta until June 19. Visitors are in for a treat as the car brand is giving away freebies including a limited edition Kool Cloud Water Bottle. Mitsubishi Philippines is also offering cash discounts of up to Php 5,000.
Interactive activities are one of the things visitors should expect at MMPC’s Life Kyaraban roadshow. Prizes that are up for grabs include Caltex SavePlus Cards, 40 percent off Combi coupons, and Realme 8i mobile phones that will be raffled off throughout the roadshow’s duration.
