Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) gathered dealer principals and executives from across the country for its 2026 Dealer Conference and Toyota Outstanding Performers in Sales and Service (TOPS) Awards. The event recognized top-performing dealers and individual achievers based on their results in 2025.

The annual gathering reviewed Toyota’s performance for the past year while highlighting the role of dealer teams in sales, service, and customer support across the network. TMP said the TOPS Awards program measures performance through several benchmarks that include sales results, service quality, customer experience, and operational standards.

TMP chairman Alfred V. Ty addressed the network during the event and urged dealers to continue strengthening their connection with customers.

“Let us continue to create happiness and mobility for all. As one Toyota, let us continue to be the number one in the hearts, minds, and homes of every Filipino,” Ty said.

TMP president Masando Hashimoto spoke about the company’s direction and the role of the brand in the changing mobility landscape.

“Creating ever better cars is our DNA,” Hashimoto said. “But our mission goes beyond that: to evolve Toyota’s role in the lives of our customers. As Global Chairman Akio shared at the recent Japan Mobility Show, creating ever better cars, we are evolving — from providing Mobility for All to enabling Mobility for each unique customer.”

Toyota Dealers Association of the Philippines President Jimmy Yaokasin also addressed the dealer network during the gathering.

“We are in a long-distance race,” Yaokasin said. “One marked by market shifts, digital disruption, economic cycles, EV transitions, supply chain challenges, and ever-rising customer expectations. Let us run our race with confidence, with conviction, with integrity. And may future generations of Toyota leaders look back at us as part of that great cloud of witnesses.”

Toyota Motor Philippines said it continues to work closely with its dealer network as the company expands its products and services across the country.
