The Manila Bay area will be the epicenter of Philippine car culture this weekend.

Just as the Manila Auto Salon, Trans Sport Show, and the Sport Truck Show is happening at SMX, the local car enthusiast scene is about to get one of its biggest moments yet.

Stance Pilipinas is holding a special car meet with Liberty Walk Japan, and it’s happening on November 16, 2025 at Ayala Malls Manila Bay. Liberty Walk’s very own Wataru Kato and Hyuma Kato will be in attendance for the event to witness the collaboration of Japanese and Philippine automotive culture in one venue.

For the first time, the famous automotive tuning house from Japan is making an official appearance in the Philippines, signaling just how far the country’s car culture has grown on the global stage. The meet is open to all builds and is aimed at showcasing the diversity and creativity of Filipino car enthusiasts.

According to Stance Pilipinas, the goal isn’t just to gather cars but to share Philippine automotive culture to the world. Expect a big turnout of the country’s cleanest, wildest, and most talked-about builds, many of which have gained traction online for their craftsmanship and creativity. Likewise, Liberty Walk is also expected to bring in some of their best builds to the meet.

In addition, Liberty Walk will also be offering Philippine-exclusive merchandise, giving fans a rare chance to grab limited-run pieces only available at the event.
