Under Hexagon Motors Inc., a proud member of the Hexagon Group of Companies, a vision for sustainable transportation begins to take shape.
Valenzuela City, April 30, 2025 — At the heart of Valenzuela, a quiet but powerful revolution began. With the turn of soil at 209 McArthur Highway, Karuhatan, the future of electric mobility in northern Metro Manila came into sharp focus. The groundbreaking ceremony of BYD Valenzuela, under the stewardship of Hexagon Motors Inc., marked not just the beginning of construction—but the birth of a movement.
This milestone represents a deeper promise: that innovation and sustainability are not far-off ideals, but tangible realities rolling steadily into the Philippine mainstream.
Stronger Together: Building on Partnership and Purpose
The event gathered distinguished partners, guests, and public officials who share a common vision: to accelerate the country’s transition to clean, smart mobility. In attendance were executives from AC Mobility – BYD Cars Philippines, led by Managing Director Bob Palanca, joined by Deputy General Manager Ms. Lovely Labrador, along with key figures from the broader BYD network.
Representing the driving force behind the project were Mr. Cris P. Gamboa, President and CEO of Hexagon Motors Inc. and the Hexagon Group of Companies, and Mr. Gerry Lim, Managing Director of Hexagon Motors Inc. Their presence underscored the strength and resolve of the Hexagon leadership to deliver not just a dealership—but a destination.
The event was further honored by the support of Valenzuela City officials, affirming a vital collaboration between private innovation and public service.
A Rolling Preview of the Electric Future
In a fitting prelude to what lies ahead, the ceremony opened with a striking EV parade—a visual promise of things to come:
The BYD Sealion 6 arrived with Jervis Ng, Director of Business Development at Hexagon Group, alongside Gerry Lim.
The BYD Atto 3 followed, steered by Ms. Lovely Labrador.
The commanding BYD Tang entered the scene, piloted by Bob Palanca himself.
And finally, the sleek and silent BYD Seal was driven in by Cris P. Gamboa, a symbolic handoff of vision to reality.
Each model reflected the best of BYD’s electric engineering—vehicles that are not only efficient and intelligent but poised to redefine Philippine roads.
A Celebration of Culture and Community
More than a corporate milestone, the day was a celebration. Guests were treated to an electrifying performance by Guild Hearts, a dynamic dance troupe from the Office of the Mayor of Valenzuela, infusing the event with the city’s local spirit and cultural pride.
More Than a Showroom, a Statement
Upon completion, BYD Valenzuela will stand as the largest BYD dealership and EV service center in Metro Manila. The 3-storey facility will feature a modern showroom, cutting-edge service bays, and advanced charging infrastructure, designed for a new generation of eco-conscious drivers.
Strategically positioned to serve Valenzuela, Caloocan, Malabon, and Navotas, the dealership will act as a northern gateway to BYD’s acclaimed electric vehicle lineup.
“BYD Valenzuela is a place where your family is always welcome. We will help you in your transition to EV [Electric Vehicle] by providing you the most suitable vehicle suited for your lifestyle and needs. In that way, we will all together make GO GREEN Valenzuela,” said Mr. Cris P. Gamboa, CEO & President of Hexagon Motors Inc.
The Road Ahead
Set to open its doors in late 2025, BYD Valenzuela is poised to power up a region eager for transformation. Backed by trusted partnerships, visionary leadership, and growing demand, it will help shape a cleaner, more connected future—one electric mile at a time.
As the foundation is laid, so too is a promise: that the journey toward a greener Philippines has only just begun.
