VinFast has presented 303 prizes worth a total of P5.1 million to the most outstanding and lucky participants in its electric vehicle design voting contest for the Philippine market titled “PiliPinas: Your Vote, Your Design for the Future Filipino Drive.” The more than 20,000 participants reflect the strong appeal of VinFast models and reinforce that green mobility is becoming an essential and sensible choice in the Philippines.
During the live broadcast awards ceremony, VinFast presented three grand prizes worth P150,000 each for participants who correctly predicted the most favored design and the total number of votes. There were also 20 prizes worth P40,000 to P80,000 each for the closest predictions for the VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8 and VF 9 results. The program also offered 130 gifts worth P15,000 each for 130 individuals who submitted their own design concepts, along with 150 lucky draw gifts worth P10,000 each for participants who took part in the voting. A total of 303 prizes were awarded, with a combined value of P5.1 million.
The “PiliPinas” EV design voting contest ran for two weeks from Oct. 24 to Nov. 7. It attracted more than 20,000 votes, thousands of direct participants and more than one hundred unique design submissions from across large and small islands throughout the Philippines.
For each model line VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8 and VF 9, VinFast showcased 10 interior and exterior design options. These were entirely new concepts developed by VinFast’s global creative team to offer a wide range of styles.
People across the Philippines enthusiastically voted for the designs they liked most to share their preferences with VinFast and express their personal tastes. The contest illustrated how Filipinos envision the EVs they want to own and how these designs could shape the future of transportation in the country.
Fairness and transparency were key pillars of the contest. All 50 official design options, including detailed interior and exterior visuals, were published so that people could vote independently and objectively. Voting was made accessible both online and through 30 physical ballot boxes placed nationwide.
The high turnout and the close competition among design options highlight the strong appeal of the new design portfolio and VinFast’s deep understanding of Philippine consumer tastes. It also reflects a strong sense of creativity and community pride as people directly influenced the creation of potential future VinFast household models.
VinFast Southeast Asia CEO Antonio Zara stated: “With our customer-centric philosophy, VinFast wants Filipinos to become true co-creators of the EVs that will soon be seen on Philippine streets. Each and every selection and idea submitted inspires us to develop vehicles that reflect the Filipino spirit: Resilient, steadfast and always striving for a better future.”
In just over a year since entering the market, VinFast has quickly gained momentum in the Philippines. The company continues to expand showrooms and test drive events, strengthen partnerships with financial and service partners and introduce a diverse EV lineup suited to the needs of urban residents and families.
Guided by a global vision and a commitment to sustainable development, VinFast continues to reaffirm its role as a trusted partner of the Philippines on the journey toward a future of green, smart and environmentally friendly mobility, where progress is shaped by the voices and creativity of the community.
