It looks like the 10th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) is happening. After speculation as to whether the biennial event would take place, some of the country’s biggest car brands have announced their participation.

While the show’s organizing body, the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI), has yet to make a formal confirmation, carmakers like Toyota, Honda, and Isuzu have shared the event details on their respective Facebook pages.

Based on a uniform graphic posted by those brands, the stage will be set at the World Trade Center Manila, from June 4 to 7, 2026. The venue previously hosted the 2026 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) in April.

Notably, seasoned automakers Ford, Mazda, and Hyundai have not announced their participation at this year’s auto show. The same goes for up-and-coming brands Tesla, VinFast, and Jetour. There’s no confirmation from Kia, either, although the Korean carmaker was present at MIAS, where it launched the EV5 crossover.

With about a month left before the show, we can expect more brands to join in, as well as a few teasers of what the confirmed carmakers have in store. Will you be attending PIMS 2026?
