Awards held  at the Grand Ballroom of the Palms Country Club in Alabang. The ceremony awarded the best of four-wheel and two-wheel vehicles in the country based on the reviews of its editorial team. The Accord, the CR-Z, and the All-New Odyssey were the winners of the night.

The Honda Accord won Best In Class for the Executive category. The Accord embodies a mix of both smart packaging and sophisticated interior and exterior styling. Thanks to its superior craftsmanship, anyone who steps inside the Accord gains an executive feel with the interior features and amenities. The Accord, offered in both 2.4 S and 3.5 SV variants, is a vehicle built with high level of Honda’s durability, quality, and reliability; and delivers an overall pleasurable experience and exceptional fuel efficiency.

Honda’s Sport Hybrid Coupe, the CR-Z won Best In Class for the Hybrid category. The CR-Z is the perfect balance of both sporty and economy. This vehicle emphasizes Honda’s commitment to provide product that the market wants from the brand such as a powerful hybrid vehicle. The CR-Z uses a 1.5 liter i-VTEC engine as the main source of power with an electric motor, Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA). This combination allows drivers to have a more responsive, efficient, and overall exciting experience, thus earning the award for best Hybrid vehicle.

Lastly, the recently launched All-New Odyssey took home the award for Best In Class Executive Mid-Size People Carrier. To address the increasing need for a family vehicle, the Odyssey was developed with the mind set of creating a multi-passenger vehicle that has a large cabin space. A spacious and comfortable ride with an added touch of luxury is what the Odyssey can offer. Currently, the Odyssey proves to be one of Honda’s more desirable products as evidenced by the increasing market demand.

Recognizing the power of sports in the Philippine market, Suzuki Philippines (SPH) renewed its contract with three-time Southeast Asian Games gold medalist and 2010 International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Asia Under-18 Championship Mythical Team member Kiefer Ravena, extending his endorsement agreement with the company for another year.

The 21-year-old University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 77 Most Valuable Player signed the contract on Monday, September 7, with SPH President Hiroshi Suzuki, SPH General Manager for Automobile Shuzo Hoshikura, and SPH Managing Director and Treasurer Norminio Mojica.

Ravena’s endorsement deal with the carmaker started in 2013, and the Ateneo Blue Eagle player said that his partnership with SPH is his longest running endorsement thus far and that the relationship has been mutually fruitful.

“Being a part of this family is something that I really treasure. Iba na rin ‘yung na-build kong relationship with them. (I’ve built a unique relationship with them.) It goes beyond contracts,” he said.

For his part, SPH President Hiroshi Suzuki expressed, “We have always believed that Kiefer Ravena is the perfect celebrity-athlete to promote Suzuki as he embodies someone who is young, fun to be with, reliable, excellent, and active – in short, somebody who exemplifies the Suzuki way of life. As such, we are very excited and happy for this renewal of partnership as his image and reputation will help make the youth sector relate to the things that we represent and offer.”
