Beat the Heat - Marikina Auto Show

Subaru WRX 

Part of our very busy Saturday of May 4, 2013 (see the 7th anniversary DPP blog post and FCBD) was covering the (Beat the Heat) Marikina Auto Show. This is actually Marikina's first ever Auto show - and it's for a cause! 

The event was organized by the Rotary Club of Marikina Dist 3800 and the City Government of Marikina. 

It is interesting to note that the title of the event was very apt -since it really did Beat the Heat- when there was a sudden downpour of rain and this was just when we arrived at the event but of course just like everything else the show must go on and the good natured people of Marikina simply wiped the rain of their well loved cars. It was admirable that they really did not let the rain get to them.

Even though Paul and I own a Honda City, we are not really 'car' people. Paul may know a thing or two about cars but for me it's really not up my alley so apologies for the blog post or lack of it rather. 

I guess for blog posts like these the photos will have to do most of the talking ;)

And in closing I would just like to say that it is always both fun and admirable to be able to share your passion, have fun with it and still be able to help worthy organizations. It really is hitting two birds with one stone :) 

There's also going to be ANOTHER Car Show for a cause this coming Saturday - May 11, 2013. It is the Wheels for Wheels BGC Auto Show and it will be held in Bonifacio Global City. It is aptly titled Wheels for Wheels since 100% of the  proceeds will be going to our brothers and sisters at Tahanang Walang Hagdanan. There are over 100 awards to be given away LOTS of amazing cars (and girls) of course! 

The event will be held at the 30th Central Parking (behind F1 Hotel), Lane B cor. 30th St., in Bonifacio Global City.
