The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation 2015 National Organizing
Council (APEC 2015 NOC) on Wednesday received from Asian Carmakers Corporation
(ACC) a fleet of BMW vehicles to be used for this year’s APEC forum, which is
being hosted by the country.
The ceremonial turnover was held at Malacañang's Kalayaan grounds and was attended by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Jr., Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario, APEC 2015 NOC Director General Marciano Paynor Jr., and ACC President Maricar Parco.
In his speech during the event, Executive Secretary Ochoa said the ceremony brings the government and the private sector together to showcase the economic development of the country, and that of the entire Asia-Pacific region, as well.
The Philippines’ hosting of the APEC, he said, supports the government's efforts in driving economic growth in the Philippines and that of the region by building sustainable and resilient economies, promoting investment in human capital, encouraging the participation of small and medium enterprises in global trade, and enhancing regional economic integration.
"May this ceremony serve as a reminder of our partnership, one which is strongly committed to becoming a driving force in 'Building Inclusive Economies, Building a Better World’," Ochoa said.
As the government partner for the APEC Economic Leaders' Meetings, BMW will provide more than 200 units of the BMW 7 Series Long-Wheelbase Sedan and BMW 5 Series Sedan and Gran Turismo to transport APEC leaders and other dignitaries.
The ACC, the official importer and distributor of BMW in the Philippines, will turn over 25 units of the luxury sedans this month. After the APEC Summit in November, the BMW vehicles will be sold to the public. A BMW 7 Series costs P5.5 million while a BMW 5 Series is worth P3.5 million.
For her part, Parco said the formal turnover of the BMW fleet reinforces the brand's commitment to foster economic growth, not only in the Philippines but also in the Asia-Pacific region.
BMW was named the official premium mobility partner of the APEC Economic Leaders' meetings through the signing of a memorandum of agreement between the government and the German carmaker in May 2014.
