VINFAST LAUNCHES NATIONWIDE VOTING COMPETITION
“PILIPINAS – YOUR VOTE, YOUR DESIGN FOR THE FUTURE FILIPINO DRIVE” 
TO SELECT THE ‘NATIONAL VINFAST EV’ DESIGN

Manila, Philippines, October24 2025, VinFast officially initiated the “PiliPinas - Your Vote, Your Design for the Future Filipino Drive” program, the country’s first nationwide voting competition to select the design of the future “National VinFast Electric Vehicle”. The program is structured to give the public a direct, decisive role in voting and shaping a new generation of smart, modern electric vehicles infused with a distinct Filipino identity. This effort underscores VinFast’s firm commitment to pioneering innovation, fostering community engagement, and actualizing its “Customer-Centric” philosophy in every strategic step.

Under the slogan, “PiliPinas - Your Vote, Your Design for the Future Filipino Drive”, VinFast seeks to transform every citizen into a co-creator, where the community’s voice is heard, valued, and serves as the primary inspiration for designs that embody the Filipino spirit.

The competition is not only an opportunity for the public to contribute their voice and empower the creation of a future vehicle specifically for Philippine roads, it also comes with substantial prizes from VinFast. A total prizes are valued at approximately 5.1 million pesos, ensuring wide opportunities for participants to receive attractive rewards.

As part of the program, VinFast will present 50 entirely new design concepts across five vehicle lines: the VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9. Each concept will be detailed through four distinct perspectives, including two interior and two exterior images, all developed by the VinFast design team. Every line and curve reflects a modern, innovative, and future-forward ethos, reaffirming the automaker’s dedication to delivering intelligent, zero-emission vehicles that powerfully inspire the Filipino populace on their journey toward global aspiration.

Participants are invited to vote for their favorite design for each vehicle line and to predict the total number of votes that design will receive.

Beyond voting, participants can also submit and contribute their own original design concepts to VinFast (in JPEG/PNG format). These community submissions could potentially serve as inspiration, or even be developed into actual production models in the future.

To ensure citizens from all parts of the country have an opportunity to participate, VinFast is implementing both online and in-person voting mechanisms. Participants can visit the website www.vinfastpili-pinas.com to view all design concepts, cast their votes, and submit their own proposals. Alternatively, they can submit paper ballots through the Philippine Post Office system or submit online/offline20official collection points nationwide (VinFast showrooms and service centers to Vietnamese-themed coffee shops, shopping centers, and public areas). This flexible approach makes the contest accessible, facilitating nationwide participation in shaping the future of the country’s green transportation.

Regarding the prize details, three Grand Prizes will be awarded to participants who most accurately predict the top-ranked design for all VinFast models, while also providing the closest estimate of the total number of votes within the shortest time. Each Grand Prize winner will receive 150,000 pesos.

The program will also feature Main Prizes, honoring participants who accurately predict the top-ranked design for each VinFast model, VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9. For each model, there will be multi prize tiers: with the value from 40,000 Pesos to 80,000 Pesos.

In addition to rewarding top predictors, the program will offer Raffle Prizes, randomly selected from all eligible participants, each valued at 10,000 pesos.

To further celebrate creativity, Special Prizes will be randomly awarded to participants who submit their own design proposals. Each winner in this category will receive 15,000 pesos.

The voting phase will run from October 24 to November 7, 2025; the judging round will follow from November 8 to November 13; and the Awards Ceremony is scheduled for November 15, 2025.

The contest’s judging panel brings together prominent figures from the Philippines’ creative, artistic, and automotive sectors, including the owner of the renowned car decal brand Decal Lord; street artist and designer Creon Chkn Head; illustrator Gino Roberto; the acclaimed off-road vehicle customization brand Autobot Offroad PH; and a representative from VinFast Philippines.

Mr. Antonio Zara, CEO of VinFast Southeast Asia, commented, “Having established a solid foundation in the market, we aim to create a breakthrough moment for the Philippine electric vehicle market. With our ‘Customer-Centric’ philosophy, VinFast believes the Filipino people are not just users, but ‘co-creators’ helping to shape the next generation of electric vehicles. Every choice, every idea submitted is not merely a vote, but a voice of pride, an invaluable inspiration that will guide us in creating models deeply imbued with the Filipino spirit: Resilient, pioneering, and always accelerating toward a better future.”

With its national scale, diverse prize structure, and unique engagement approach, the “PiliPinas - Your Vote, Your Design for the Future Filipino Drive” promises to become a creative bridge between VinFast and Filipino consumers, collectively building an inspirational, green future for the entire region.
