John Kenneth Gervacio takes home the grand prize, proving that one unexpected purchase can turn into a moment of a lifetime.
A phone and a car are among the biggest tech investments today. But what if buying a smartphone could also win you a high-end, fully electric car? It may sound unlikely, but for John Kenneth Gervacio, it became a real moment of luck and timing. He won the HONOR 600 “Win a Benz” promo during its launch on 14 May 2026 at SM Mall of Asia.
Gervacio recalled that his purchase was unplanned. He was simply walking around the mall during a work break when he came across the launch offers and decided to buy an HONOR phone for his girlfriend. That quick decision turned into a win that still feels unreal to him.
What makes his story stand out even more is that he beat entries from a buyer who purchased as many as 80 HONOR phones for more chances. Now, he takes home an orange Mercedes-Benz EQA 250. The fully electric SUV features a front-wheel drive system with 190 hp and 385 Nm of torque, powered by a 66.5 kWh battery that offers up to 495 km of range. The vehicle is valued at P3,990,000.
The HONOR 600 also delivers on performance with a 6.57-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, a 7,000mAh battery with 80W charging, and a 200MP main camera with OIS. It is paired with a 12MP ultrawide lens, a 50MP front camera, and AI Image-to-Video 2.0 capabilities.
For those looking forward to more, HONOR is set to roll out more surprises in the coming months, with new product launches, promos and giveaways still on the way.
