Paolo and Miguel from Ben&Ben Join Toyota Motor Asia’s ‘Move Your World Beat’ Campaign, Bringing Filipino Music to a Regional Stage

Twin brothers Paolo Benjamin and Miguel Benjamin from Filipino indie folk-pop band Ben&Ben are bringing Filipino creativity to the regional spotlight as part of Toyota Motor Asia’s Move Your World Beat, a new culture initiative developed with creative partner VIRTUE Asia. Through the campaign, the duo joins artists from across Asia in transforming everyday Toyota vehicle sounds into original musical compositions that celebrate creativity, collaboration, and cultural expression.

The campaign brings together established and emerging artists from across Asia to collaborate, experiment, and inspire the next generation to express their cultures through contemporary sound. The initiative also serves as an ongoing platform where Toyota empowers Asia’s creators to tell stories through music while celebrating both cultural heritage and innovation.

“At its heart, Move Your World is about Toyota’s commitment to the communities in Asia – the freedom to move, and the thrill and joy of moving forward together. With Move Your World Beat, we bring that same spirit to music, a universal language that unites our communities and moves us all a little closer,” shared Jaja Ishibashi, General Manager of Toyota Motor Asia. “By supporting creators and bringing different voices together, we hope to inspire new forms of expression and show that when we move together, we can create something greater than any one of us could achieve alone.”

As the Philippine representatives, Paolo and Miguel join a regional lineup of creators which includes Malaysia’s Belle Sisoski, Pakistan’s Natasha Noorani, Singapore’s Shye, Thailand’s Valentina Ploy, and Vietnam’s 2pillz. Launched through a TikTok-led creator programme, each artist will produce an original track using the sounds of a Toyota such as subtle clicks and ambient hums to engineered tones and reimagine them through their own distinct musical style.

By transforming the functional sounds of a vehicle into creative expression, the campaign highlights the idea that movement is not only physical, but also cultural and emotional. Each composition reflects the artist’s unique musical identity while contributing to a broader body of work that celebrates Asia’s diversity through a shared creative language.

The campaign will culminate later this year with the release of a regional collective beat, bringing together the musical contributions of artists from six countries into a single collaborative work that resonates across Asia.

Beyond this year’s rollout, Move Your World Beat is intended to continue as an ongoing platform, with each participating artist’s content contributing to future collaborations that celebrate creativity, community, and cultural exchange across the region.

TOYOTA Brings the Excitement of B.LEAGUEBasketball to Filipino Fans

TOYOTA is bringing the energy of B.LEAGUE basketball closer to Filipino fans through the B.LEAGUE Manila Games 2026, a historic two-game preseason series featuring Levanga Hokkaido and Gunma Crane Thunders. The teams are set to face off at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on September 9 and 10, 2026, marking the league’s first-ever games to be held outside Japan.

For TOYOTA, hosting Japan’s professional basketball league in the Philippines and supporting the Manila Games celebrate the shared passion for basketball that has long brought Filipino and Japanese fans together. The event offers another opportunity for both communities to connect, build shared experiences, and celebrate their love for the sport.

“Basketball has a special way of bringing people together, and we are proud to support an event that allows Filipino fans to experience B.LEAGUE basketball here in Manila,” said Elijah Marical, First Vice President for Vehicle Sales Operation of Toyota Motor Philippines. “This series is more than two games. It is a celebration of the passion that Japan and the Philippines share for the sport, the friendship between our two countries, and the memorable experiences that basketball can create for fans and families.”

The games arrive during a milestone year for the league and for Japan-Philippines relations. 2026 marks the B.LEAGUE’s 10th anniversary, alongside the 70th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and the Philippines.

Against that backdrop, the Manila series brings together Japanese professional basketball and a Filipino fan base with deep ties to the sport. The matchup gives the home crowd a chance to see two Filipino standouts competing for their respective B.LEAGUE clubs: Dwight Ramos of Levanga Hokkaido and AJ Edu of Gunma Crane Thunders. Their presence gives local supporters another connection to the action with both players taking the court in front of a home crowd.

Beyond the action on the court, TOYOTA will create more ways for fans to enjoy the B.LEAGUE Manila Games 2026 through on-ground experiences such as the TOYOTA Challenge Zone, an interactive space where fans can put their skills to the test through a series of fun, fast-paced games where they can take on challenges and have a chance to win exciting prizes.

Through this partnership, TOYOTA reaffirms its commitment to bringing meaningful, world-class sports experiences closer to audiences around the world while supporting initiatives that foster stronger connections among communities.

Don’t miss the B.LEAGUE Manila Games 2026 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on September 9 and 10, 2026. Both games are scheduled to tip off at 7:00 p.m.

Next Generation Toyota Tamaraw GL Dropside Variant

Since its introduction in 2024, the Next Generation Toyota Tamaraw has continued to deliver its promise to be the vehicle of choice for versatility. Its highly configurable platform is meant to be customized according to the needs and lifestyles of any business owner or individual. From passenger and cargo transport to refrigerated logistics and purpose-built mobile businesses, the Tamaraw can serve a wide range of uses depending on operational requirements. Paired with the proven Toyota QDR (quality, durability and reliability) and trusted aftersales service, it truly is the vehicle of choice for daily business operations.

This coming week, Toyota will demonstrate the versatility of the Next Generation Tamaraw across 4 events in Metro Manila and in Cebu. From September 9 to 12, Tamaraw will participate in the Asia Food Expo (AFEX) at the World Trade Center showcasing different business possibilities in the food and beverage industry.

On September 10 -13 at the IEC Convention Center Cebu, the Tamaraw will be at PHILBEX Cebu showcasing the vehicle as a work horse in the building and construction industry. Guests can see and experience the vehicle through test drives during this event.

Moreover, this weekend from September 12 – 13, the local creative community at the annual PURVEYR Fair will get to experience for the first time, a Tamaraw GL Dropside DJ booth. On the same dates, a Tamaraw GL Dropside can also be found on display at the Die Cast PH Grandparents Pit Stop event at Cash & Carry Makati, placing the Tamaraw in the diecast collector event, for collectors to see and take inspiration from.

Guests can go to any of the 4 events where Tamaraw will make its appearance and be able to find something about the Tamaraw that can pique their interest.

The two-day gathering of independent Filipino brands, creatives, and communities will see a Tamaraw GL Dropside converted into a DJ booth and a pop-up flower store, using the vehicle’s open rear section as the foundation for two very different mobile setups.

On September 12, the Tamaraw Dropside DJ booth will be featuring DJ sets from Waff, Roy De Borja, Okami, Average Bri, Nix Damn P! and J Dope. While on September 13, Okami, ADMV, Michiko, Nix Damn P!, Butta B, and Yela Renee will cap off the event with their performances.

A Tamaraw Food Truck will also be deployed at the fair in support of Waves For Water, demonstrating another way the vehicle can be converted into not only functional mobile business space but a medium for spreading a business’ advocacy.

See what the Tamaraw & the Philippine Diecast community has to offer at DCPH Grandparents Day Pit Stop

Eventgoers of the Diecast Car Collectors of the Philippines (DCPH) Grandparents Day Pit Stop will also have the chance to see a Tamaraw GL Dropside. The growing diecast community in the Philippines has also shown interest in the Next Generation Tamaraw, due to its modular and adaptable nature as a vehicle not only for business but also for artistic expression and leisure.

Toyota Motor Philippines, AAP roll out free 24/7 roadside assistance for eligible Toyota owners

New program strengthens after-sales support for Tamaraw, Lite Ace and eligible Takata campaign customers starting August 2026.

IN PHOTO (L TO R): TMP Senior Vice President – Marketing Division Ryo Yokoyama, TMP Senior Vice President – Marketing Division Sherwin Chua-Lim, TMP President Masando Hashimoto, AAP President Augustus Ferreria, AAP Finance Committee Chairman & Trustee Mr. Augusto Cosio Jr. and AAP Chief Executive Officer Mark Desales

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is expanding its after-sales support through a new partnership with the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP), giving eligible Toyota owners access to free 24/7 Emergency Roadside Assistance (ERS) beginning August 2026.

The partnership reinforces Toyota’s commitment to customer safety, peace of mind, and dependable mobility beyond the point of vehicle purchase by providing eligible motorists with nationwide roadside assistance backed by AAP, one of the country’s most trusted motoring organizations.

The program will be available to new Toyota Tamaraw and Lite Ace owners of units sold beginning August 2026.

Eligible customers may avail of roadside assistance services, including flat tire replacement, battery boosting, minor on-site mechanical repairs, emergency fuel delivery, and towing assistance of up to one intervention or 25 kilometers to the nearest Toyota dealership. Membership is valid for one year from the vehicle release date. To begin enjoying these benefits, customers can activate their membership by scanning the QR code included with their membership card.

The Emergency Roadside Assistance Program is expected to be especially valuable for owners of the Toyota Tamaraw and Lite Ace, vehicles relied upon by entrepreneurs, businesses, and families for their everyday mobility needs. For the locally produced Tamaraw manufactured through Toyota Motor Philippines, the program enhances the ownership experience by giving customers added confidence on every journey.

“AAP has been recognized for its commitment to road safety, a mission that Toyota deeply shares. That is why today’s agreement is significant. It reflects our shared commitment to providing better service and greater peace of mind to our customers. Through this program, we want our customers to know that help is available whenever they need it,” said Toyota Motor Philippines President Masando Hashimoto, at a Ceremonial Contract Signing last July 20. “At Toyota, our responsibility does not end when we hand over the keys. We remain committed to supporting our customers throughout their ownership journey.” He added.

“Our recent engagements with fellow automobile clubs have reinforced one common challenge shared by many countries – improving driver education and road discipline. Partnerships such as this with Toyota Motor Philippines go beyond providing emergency roadside assistance; they help us build a culture of safer, more responsible motorists,” shared AAP President Augustus Ferreria. “It is our hope that every Toyota Tamaraw and Lite Ace owner will not only have peace of mind through AAP’s roadside assistance, but also become better and more disciplined drivers,” He added.

Toyota and AAP have built a longstanding relationship through initiatives that promote road safety and responsible motoring, including their collaboration in the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup. The new Emergency Roadside Assistance Program marks another milestone in that partnership by delivering practical support that directly benefits Toyota owners across the country.

Eligible customers may contact their authorized Toyota dealership for complete program details and membership registration.

Toyota PH and Local Toyota Car Clubs Celebrate a Weekend of Heritage and Legacy

Toyota thanks local car community for their continued support towards Toyota heritage

Toyota Motor Philippines Executives posing for a photo alongside members of local Toyota Car Clubs

Across many generations, Toyota has earned the trust of Filipinos through its vehicles and services, backed by the brand’s QDR and network. From family sedans and hardworking pickups to legendary SUVs, the brand has become part of countless milestones, adventures, and everyday journeys showcasing its mission of providing mobility for all. But beyond every dependable vehicle lies another legacy: the community that has grown around the brand.

That same community of Toyota lovers across the country is a key reason for the success of TMP’s latest event, the Toyota Legacy Experience, where enthusiasts of the brand came together for a three-day celebration of Toyota’s heritage and legacy. Eton City Square was filled with a diverse crowd; however, their love for Toyota heritage brought them together for a weekend of celebrating the thrill and joy of moving together.

Built on Adventure and for the Community

One of the many Toyota car clubs present at the event, Hilux Club Philippines (HCP), shares that what began in 2011 as a small group of enthusiasts has grown into one of the country’s most active Toyota communities. While off-road adventures and camping trips remain at the heart of the club, members have also built a culture centered on friendship, family, and service through outreach programs and community activities.

For HCP core member JC Diaz and head Twyford Ong, shared that while HCP often came together for their shared love of the vehicle and to tackle the off-road with their Hiluxes, it is the community the Hilux has created that ultimately made them stay for many years.

“Hilux Club Philippines is more than just a group of Hilux owners. We enjoy off-roading, camping, helping communities, and spending time together as friends and families. I joined because of my love for the Hilux, but I stayed because of the people and the friendships we built through the years,” shared Diaz.

Ong echoed the same sentiment, reflecting on how the organization has evolved into a close-knit community. “We don’t just go on trail drives. We also organize outreach activities, help communities, and support one another. What keeps me going is seeing members build friendships, bring their families along, and use their Hiluxes to make a positive difference.”

Across every generation of the Hilux, members continue to celebrate the vehicle’s toughness, capability, and dependability. Yet for many, the friendships built through the club and their shared love for the car have become just as meaningful as the vehicle itself.

A Legacy Ingrained in Filipino Culture

For the Land Cruiser Club of the Philippines (LCCP), the Land Cruiser represents more than an iconic vehicle—it embodies a legacy of resilience, service, and family. For LCCP head Gerald Lim, the Land Cruiser legacy is deeply personal and has ingrained itself in his family’s history.

“For me, owning a Land Cruiser is not just about possessing a vehicle; it is an inseparable part of my identity and a living testament to my family’s history. Since the day I was born, a Land Cruiser has always been present in our household. I grew up witnessing my father drive the iconic 40 Series, which eventually paved the way for other legendary models in our garage, including the LC 70 FRP, the BJ44, the 80 Series, and other models.The Land Cruiser has played the biggest role in my life. It represents reliability, resilience, and a legacy passed down from my father. Today, it defines my lifestyle, allowing me to serve others through charitable work with the Land Cruiser Club Of The Philippines and providing critical aid during calamities where “roads are not required.” Owning a Land Cruiser means carrying forward a tradition of strength, capability, and purpose,” said Lim.

Lim also added that he is hopeful that the next generation carries the Land Cruiser legacy forward into the future. He wishes that the future generation understands that the Land Cruiser is not just a car that brings you to places, but a car that can do much more for not only the owner but also the people and communities that surround the owner.

“I hope the next generation carries this legacy forward by understanding that a Land Cruiser is built for a purpose which is to explore the world, protect the family, and extend a helping hand to communities in need, anytime and anywhere,” added Lim

Communities that go Beyond Ownership

While every Toyota club has its own identity, they all share a common purpose: bringing people together. For FJ Cruiser Owners Philippines (FJCOP), the community has become a trusted platform where enthusiasts exchange maintenance tips, modification ideas, travel experiences, and technical advice while inspiring one another to make the most of the FJ ownership experience. The club has also earned recognition from fellow enthusiasts around the world for the quality of FJ builds coming from the Philippine scene.

According to Francis Edward Ayala, the club has always been about creating meaningful relationships among owners. “Our community allows owners to connect with others who share the same passion. Beyond the vehicles themselves, we build friendships, share knowledge, organize activities, and help one another get the most out of ownership.”

Looking ahead, Ayala believes Toyota’s expanding SUV lineup presents an opportunity to welcome even more enthusiasts while continuing the culture of camaraderie the club has built over the years.

Beyond model-specific clubs, Grupo Toyota brings together different enthusiasts from across Toyota’s diverse lineup. Rather than centering on a single vehicle, the community celebrates the relationships that unite owners regardless of what they drive through gatherings, outreach activities, and collaborations with fellow Toyota clubs.

For Robert Tan, those relationships are what define the community, highlighting a common trait among Toyota car clubs of being able to be brought together by the shared love of Toyota but also forming meaningful relationships with like-minded individuals. “It’s the relationship that has been developed throughout the years,” he shared.

He also believes that being a Toyota owner goes beyond simply owning a dependable vehicle but also helping out and respecting fellow Filipino car enthusiasts. “The quintessential Toyota owner is always willing to lend a helping hand to a fellow car enthusiast. True Toyota enthusiasts have no prejudice, and we welcome and respect everyone who shares their passion.”

Partners in Keeping the Legacy Going

Toyota recognizes that its long-standing heritage is built by the people who dedicate their time, effort, and love to their cars. Alongside the local car clubs were aftermarket shops who also displayed their modified Toyota vehicles. These aftermarket shops help enthusiasts maintain, restore, and personalize their vehicles, preserving Toyota’s heritage for future generations

From families who pass down their Toyotas across generations to clubs that foster lifelong friendships, to collectors who preserve automotive heritage, to aftermarket shops that enrich the ownership experience, each person plays a role in keeping Toyota’s legacy alive. As Toyota continues to evolve through new technologies and mobility solutions, its greatest strength remains the community behind the brand. Together, these owners, clubs, collectors, and shops ensure Toyota’s legacy and heritage continue to move your world through the people who drive, preserve, and celebrate it.

Tune in to thrilling races on August 15

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP)’s premier racing series, the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup, is bringing the third race weekend of the 2026 season to the iconic Batangas Racing Circuit (BRC) in Rosario, Batangas on August 15.  The races are open to the public and admission is FREE.

Race Weekend 3 marks the TGR Philippine Cup’s first visit to BRC, the country’s oldest permanent car racetrack.

Fans can expect thrilling wheel-to-wheel action in this technical racetrack where driver skill will be put to the test. Witness the Super Sporting, Sporting and Legacy classes go head-to-head in the Vios one-make racecar (OMR), and the Tamaraw class in the Tamaraw OMR.

The Vios OMRs will continue to use E20 fuel, a 20% bio-ethanol blend, while the Tamaraw OMRs will continue to be powered by B5 fuel, a 5% coco-biodiesel blend. This initiative to use low-carbon biofuels began in the previous race weekend and aims to support national energy security and the development of biofuel supply chains through multi-stakeholder collaboration including the agricultural sector.

“As a new track for our Vios OMRs and Tamaraw OMRs, BRC will be an exciting challenge for our drivers. Our aim at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has always been to provide opportunities for racers to push the limits for better and to bring racing closer to different car communities. We hope this new racetrack will reignite the passion of our racers and existing fans, and attract the interest of people getting into motorsports,” shared TMP Senior Vice President for Marketing Sherwin Chua-Lim.

“We have received positive feedback from the racers on how biodiesel and bioethanol blend fuels perform on extreme conditions, so we are further studying the feasibility of continuing the use of these low-carbon fuels for our succeeding motorsports events. While we continue to face energy security issues in the country, we hope this initiative will result in improved knowledge on the positive benefits of higher biofuel blends for wider use of motorists,” shared TMP First Vice President for Corporate Affairs Josephine Villanueva.

Race Weekend 3 of the 2026 TGR Philippine Cup will also be broadcast live on TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippines’ Facebook Page.
