With its robust network and extensive experience, JIGA is an ideal strategic partner for VinFast in its mission to penetrate the Philippine market.

JIGA President, Mr. Michael Abanero, stated: "The market for electric vehicles is expanding in the Philippines, and this collaboration with VinFast, a pioneering brand in the electric vehicle industry, is a step toward enhancing JIGA's service capabilities while also enabling us to support the sustainable development trend and offer Filipino consumer the best of the best services.
