It's official, the 2026 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) is pushing through next month. This was confirmed by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI), which held a press conference today about the upcoming motor show.

Unlike previous editions of the biennial motor show, which usually take place around September or October every other year, this year's event will happen at an earlier date, specifically from June 4 to 7, 2026. As before, the event will take place at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in Pasay City.

This year's event will carry the theme “Forward In Every Drive” and will have a total of seventeen brands participating. These include:

-BAIC

-Chery

-Foton

-Geely

-Honda

-Isuzu

-Jetour

-Kia

-MG

-Mitsubishi

-Nissan

-Omoda Jaecoo

-Subaru

-Suzuki

-Tesla

-Toyota

-VinFast

Beyond that, officials from CAMPI mentioned that there will be a total of 150 cars on display, with about 50% expected to be electrified models. With demand for electrified vehicles on the rise, it's no surprise brands will offer such vehicles at this year's PIMS.

“This will be another milestone for CAMPI, as we are holding the 10th run of this industry-initiated grand motoring event. Under the theme 'Forward in Every Drive', the 2026 PIMS underscores our aim in fostering a vibrant and creative auto industry. One that is always moving ahead, as a primary mobility provider to Filipino motorists and constantly evolving and appropriating technologies and solutions to address the changing customer needs,” said Jose Maria 'Jing' Atienza, CAMPI president and Toyota Motor Philippines executive vice president.

Tickets for PIMS 2026 will sell for PHP 200 for regular admissions. Meanwhile, senior citizens, PWDs, and children will get them at a lower price at PHP 150. Those who will get their tickets online, however, will benefit from discounts compared to on-site tickets. To be more specific, regular admissions will only sell for PHP 150, while seniors & PWDs can get them for just PHP 120. There will also be an online bundle offer (5+1) for PHP 750.

This year's major sponsors are BPI and Motul.
