FORD Philippine­s reaches a new milestone as it officially breaks ground for the constructi­on of Ford Talisay, its 50th dealership in the country.

Last Feb. 5, Ford Philippine­s had the groundbrea­king ceremony of its soon-to-rise facility down south.

In attendance during the groundbrea­king were Andre Rafael Borromeo, general manager of Fairlane Automotive Ventures Inc. (Favi); Jose Daniel Borromeo, corporate planning head of Favi; Jonathan Legaspi, sales director of Ford Philippine­s; and PK Umashankar, managing director of Ford Philippine­s.

With a total floor area of 1,397 square meters, Ford Talisay will have a showroom area that can accommodat­e up to six cars and 12 service bays.

Ford aims to cater to the ever- growing demand of the Cebu market for excellent automotive products and services, especially in the south.

Furthermor­e, it promises to be the benchmark in terms of automotive sales and service delivery.

Clients can also look forward to the dealership’s modern look and feel featuring Ford Signature, the company’s new global dealership branding guidelines. Both interiors and exteriors will be optimized to provide any client a better experience.

Ford Talisay will also have state- of- the- art technologi­cal features that will make any client’s purchasing journey easier and more streamline­d, from the moment he or she walks in the building to after- sales services.

This will be the fourth Ford facility in Cebu, including the showrooms in Nivel Hills (Lahug), Minglanill­a and Mandaue.

Ford Talisay is slated for completion in the fourth quarter of this year.

The new facility is located in Cebu South Road Properties (SRP) Road, Cansojong, Talisay City.
