In March 12 of 1947, Enzo Ferrari started the engine of the first ever car that will bear his name, the 125 S. That road test was to be the start of history for the most in demand supercar ever in the history of mobility.

Sixty five years years later and we finally have Ferraris in Manila. The franchise was opened in 2012 by our old friend Wellington Soong and has since been a hit. But seventy years is a venerable age for humans, with wisdom and learning culled from a lifetime now matured into proper perspective. This is how Ferrari takes its relationship with its clients.

Ferrari Philippines celebrated this 70-years with a cavalcade of 23 Ferrari cars driven by passionate clients rolling up to the Summer Capital of the land, Baguio City. Crowds gathered around the fascinating display of Ferrari cars at the starting point at Shell North Luzon Expressway.

The cavalcade drove 187 kilometres from the capital city of Manila to the City of Pines. Baguio City, the most popular city in the province of Benguet, sits over 1,500 meters above sea level and attracts troves of travelers due to its cold climate within the tropical country of the Philippines.

The Prancing Horse dominated the famous route towards the City of Pines, starting with long stretches of open highway, winding roads on the side of mountains and through uphill climbs.

But the highlight of the drive is when the motorcade hit the scenic roads to Ambuklao Hydroelectric Plant. Located 36 kilometers away from Baguio, this once highest and biggest dam in the Far East situated in Bokod, Benguet, was the perfect destination that took the drivers through Pine-flanked roads and cloud-filled skies.

Joining in the celebration is the local government of Baguio City that led the parade of the Ferrari cars around the city. Crowds lined the streets watching a rare phenomenon of a line of Ferrari cars roaring through Baguio.

The celebrations culminated with a gala dinner at the prestigious The Manor, Baguio’s 5-star hotel located in Camp John Hay.

At the gala dinner, Soong led the toast in honor of Ferrari and all the clients and the people who have poured their passion into making the brand come to life throughout the decades.

“Tonight we celebrate the heritage of Ferrari in the past seventy years, and the legacy it will bring in the next seventy, eighty, one hundred years.” – Wellington Soong
