VWCP VW Day 2009
June 18, 2009We would like to thank all those who attended the VW Day Celebration and all those who joined the motorcade. Although the activity was planned a long time ago, it took one virus to change everything. Nonetheless, it was a huge success with all of you guys being there. We promise to organize more activities in the future so that all VW owners can have a chance to interact with one another and to pick up some tips and ideas on how to make their VWs stay in shape.
We wish also to welcome the new members of the Club who signed up during yesterday’s activity.
Lots of Pictures Here

World Volkswagen Day at the Ateneo
June 1, 2009World Volkswagen Day is normally celebrated on a Sunday near or nearest June 22 of every year.
This year, the VWCP national chapter will host the said celebration in partnership with Ateneo de Manila University, which is currently celebrating its 150th foundation year.
The Club has made arrangements for 150 VWs to be parked and displayed at Bellarmine Quadrangle inside the Ateneo campus on Sunday, June 14, 2009. The activities would include:
1. mass car-blessing of owners and their beloved VWs;
2. participation in Ateneo festivities;
3. Renewal of oath on restoration, preservation of VWs in the Philippines,
outreach to marginalized brethren in our communities;
4. free lunch and drinks to the owners of the 150 displayed VWs;
5. Ingress between 8-9 am and egress would be 5 pm.
Final Update/Changes
In the meeting this morning with the Ateneo guys, the following have been reached as regards the participation of the VW community:
1. We need at least 20 VWs at the World Trade Center (WTC) (Buendia/Roxas Blvd) by 10:00 am. They will wait for the motorcade of vintage cars that would come from Intramuros. Together they will proceed to Ateneo Rockwell. After reaching Rockwell, the VW-World Trade group can leave the vintage cars to proceed immediately to EDSA Corinthian to join the 2nd VW group (also at least 20 VWs) and the big bikes’ club waiting there.
2. The VW-Corinthian must be in the the said area by 1:00 pm to wait for the VW-World Trade group. The two groups would then wait for the other
participants of the motorcade that would pass by later to pick them up. From thereon, the motorcade becomes longer and longer as it passes by different points to pick up other participants.
3. A 3rd VW group will also be formed along Katipunan Ave to meet up with the oncoming main motorcade. Volunteers would be asked at the Ateneo grounds on that day
4. The planned meet-up at EDSA-Madison-Reliance is scrapped. They would have to join the EDSA-Corithian group.
5. As planned by the Club president, packed-lunch will be distributed at EDSA-Corinthian.
6. All point-men will still be the same.
7. All those not joining the motorcade can go to Ateneo by 10:00 am.
8. Small Tarpaulins for the motorcade would be distributed in the Clubs’s meetin at Burger King tonight.
We encourage some of you guys to please join the motorcade. Let us all help to give a pleasant impression to the other car clubs who will also be present on that day.
Lastly, it’s rain or shine for this affair - World Volkswagen Day
