VinFast Philippines wrapped up its VF 3: Brave New Imagination Creators Challenge at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), naming graphic designer Warren Carlo Trinidad as the grand prize winner.
Trinidad’s winning decal design, titled “Lakbay (Journey),” captured themes of movement, adventure, and Filipino heritage. Inspired by his love for travel, Trinidad shared, “This contest gave me the perfect canvas to mix creativity, culture, and color. I’m excited to hit the road with Lakbay proudly displayed on my VF 3.”
As the top winner, Trinidad received a brand-new VinFast VF 3 featuring his custom design. Other finalists were also awarded cash prizes during the ceremony held at the VinFast booth at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
The contest, launched in March 2025, invited Filipino creatives to reimagine the VF 3 through original decal designs. Entries were judged by a panel of industry professionals, including decal entrepreneur Gino Roberto, toy and graffiti artist Eryk “Creon Chkn” Lalic, and graphic designer Chuck Alpajaro.
VinFast continues to highlight Filipino creativity, recently featuring the VF 3 in the music video of rising P-pop group KAIA. These efforts reflect the brand’s push to connect with the new generation of Filipino car buyers through culture and innovation.
The VinFast VF 3 is a compact electric SUV priced from PHP 745,000, offering up to 215 km range, a 10-inch infotainment system, and fast-charging capabilities. It comes with a 7-year vehicle warranty and 8-year battery warranty.
VinFast is also growing its presence in the Philippines with six new dealerships, over 60 service points, and new partnerships that expand EV servicing nationwide.
