Jerg, I am in Oregon (and have not visited MNL since 2012). Here are some pics from RTGT track day in Portland last July 27, 2015. Hope you can make it next year. Hello to everyone!

I come back home every year to visit my parents. I would like to meet some fellow Ferrari owners when I'm there. Is there a regular cars and coffee meet at bgc? Those pics look like the manila polo club.
There are several active clubs now, saraojo. The oldest (almost 50 years old) is the Manila Sports Car Club , which meets once a month at the Polo Club. That is a mixed-brand club, but usually there are a handful of Ferraris, as this last Sunday. The 458 and F-Type were early birds at the meeting. MSCC meetings are interesting for the car guy, because of the variety of sports cars. The Bistro Burgos gatherings are impromptu, and usually folks from MSCC and the super car club. The new Ferrari Owners Club Philippines has monthly events, too, and has a run this Sunday. There were over 40 Ferraris at last months meeting. The events in September, October, and November will be on the last Sunday of the month. As with Ferrari owners clubs worldwide, FOCP is run by its members, but authorized by Maranello and supported by the local dealer. FOCP will have an inaugural dinner on Saturday, December 5, 2015. Hopefully, the 488 would have arrived then, and we will get to see it. Try to time your visits. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Quite a wide variety of sports cars at MSCCs meeting last Sunday. They meet on the 1st Sunday of the month. Image Unavailable, Please Login
From the Ferrari Owners Club Philippines club secretary - "Looking forward to your participation in the FOCP fun run (exclusive for Ferrari owners) tomorrow Sunday. Meeting place at Starbucks in 32nd st. BGC (near Home Depot) at 7:00am! Then we do our run to Seda Nuvali Sta. Rosa , regroup at Eton Exit then stopover at Seda Hotel for second regrouping and finally go back and have breakfast at Coco Hut Fried Chicken and Fish Muntinlupa City; Ground Floor, The Commerce Center, 1780 Commerce Corner Filinvest Avenue, Filinvest. See you"
Let me share this photo of Feraris assembling for the start of the run, taken by Nat (the Ferrari rep at FOCP). There were several Speciales, judging from the photos. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Amazing! Did not know that there were that many Ferrari Aficionado's yet alone owners in the Philippines. Thanks for the pics and kudos to our fellow Kababayan's. Cheers, Mark
Thanks for the pics, abstamaria love the yellow 355 from the pics, that car is still quite a stunner. To the question earlier, that 599 looks like a gtb not a gto.
I used to have breakfast at the Starbucks beside Shell in BGC, just to ogle the few Ferraris, mostly 355s & 360s gassing up after their Sunday runs at Tagaytay. Nice to see the F population in Manila has grown substantially in just a decade or so. I'm no F owner but would love to be present if ever a track day is ever held. I got to visit Maranello last year and my best memory is standing on a bridge overlooking Pista di Fiorano while a couple 458 GTE's were being tested in preparation for that year's Le Mans. The screaming engines lent the whole of town its appropriate soundtrack.
