HMPH expressed its gratitude to Mr. Lee for his successful leadership, which really helped the car brand maintain its reputation in the country.
Moving forward, HMPH, now under Mr. Son’s leadership, plans to continue growing its dealer network, provide new experiences for Filipino customers, and deliver good mobility options for the local market. With this new leadership, HMPH is set on building on the progress made over the past two years.
