The organizer of the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) has confirmed that the event’s 2026 staging, with the theme ‘Powering Mobility,’ will push through as scheduled from April 9 to 12 at the World Trade Center and the Philippine Trade Training Center in Pasay City.
“As the country navigates a challenging period marked by supply concerns and shifting economic conditions, MIAS recognizes the importance of sensitivity, responsibility, and relevance in how the automotive industry engages with the public,” the statement reads. “The show has always been more than a celebration of cars—it is a platform that reflects the evolving role of mobility in everyday life.
“MIAS 2026 will focus on solutions-oriented mobility—highlighting innovations that address efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility. The event aims to support both the industry and consumers by showcasing technologies and vehicles that respond to today’s realities.”

The presentations and booths of the 25 brands participating in MIAS this year will focus on new energy vehicles, sustainable mobility solutions, responsible transport, and EV charging infrastructure. The event will also feature an Overland Experience Grounds Concept to promote sustainable outdoor lifestyles and local travel, and a Truck Pavilion that will showcase new energy commercial transport solutions.
“We understand the concerns many are facing today,” said Jill Ang, managing director of Worldbex Services International, which organizes the event. “MIAS 2026 is being positioned not as a celebration detached from reality, but as a relevant and responsible platform that highlights how the automotive sector can adapt and contribute during challenging times.”
