Next-gen Ford Territory owners celebrate 1st anniversary

MANILA: Members of the Next-Generation Ford Territory Owners Club Philippines (NGFTOCP) celebrated their first anniversary.

Per Ford Philippines, the said event took club members on a leisurely drive to Dasmariñas, Cavite. It was their first-ever grand meet-up and members of the online community were able to put faces behind the names and share their love for the compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) with fellow enthusiasts.

As a car club, NGFTOCP prides itself in fostering a strong sense of camaraderie and support among its admins and members.

“It’s really about helping each other and building our community,” Rowell Punongbayan, an active member of the club, said.

On that note, the group fosters a culture of helping others, like giving fellow Ford Territory owners advice on various matters.

“As a Territory owner, I do have a lot of questions on car maintenance. One good thing about the community is they can help provide answers and share vehicle-related information with the members,” Rodel Faderan, a first-time vehicle owner, shared.

The support extended by the members comes in different forms, thanks to a great mix of personalities with diverse backgrounds.

“In NGFTOCP, members can ask for help — whether it’s about their Territory, personal matters, business-related questions, or anything else they might need assistance with,” Karren Leigh, one of the founding members of the club, noted.
