The Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI) capped its four-day 3rd Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) with the announcement of winners of its 1st CAMPI Motor Show Media Awards.
The CMMA was held in recognition of the vital role that mainstream and social media play in keeping the public informed about the developments in the auto industry. The Awards used the 3rd PIMS as a platform to generate awareness on the auto industry in general, and on CAMPI and its environmental advocacy called "My Ride+Earth."
The Philippine Daily Inquirer/Inquirer.net bagged the top award, the "Best Motor Show Coverage," and two other awards to take home a total of P30,000 in cash prizes and P25,000 worth of in-kind prizes, including the forfeited prizes from two categories without declared winners.
