PENDONG - MOVIE IN THE MAKING
Earlier this year, the Club promised that it would organize many activities that would make the VW community be more united and feel more proud of their cars.
Synopsis
Bingo Cruz thinks he’s had the perfect and complete life – and ultimately deserves the VW Beetle car as his college graduation gift. This is after being the goody-goody son who remorsefully follows the strict codes of his parents for years. But when his mother reveals that his deceased father wasn’t his real dad – and that his biological father lives and owns a business in a far-flung province up north, he will gather his childhood friends, Dennis Lopez – a movie star, and Jay Salvacion – a college dropout, to go on in a masked road trip finding his dad.
Along the way, the Beetle – although has remained to be a road novelty and a subject of that classic Pendong game where a man hits someone who is standing next when he sees a Beetle [popularly called as Kotseng Kuba] – will be the cause of numerous mishaps along the way………
They will pick up a sexy, vixen lady MAYA – who becomes the subject of their trip’s desire. Maya will instead give them not just hard-ons but will put them between a rock and a hard place eventually.
As their situation escalates into worse times – funny but bumpy episodes will prove to be a relief in their long, arduous journey………..
True to that promise, another major activity will be held on Sunday, April 18, 2010 at the Quezon City Hall parking area starting at 7:00 am sharp ‘till 11:00 am.
An Independent film producer approached the Club to seek help in the making of their film project entitled “PENDONG”. I have a copy of the film’s synopsis but I guess it would be much better if I only tell snippets of it to whet your veedub appetite.

The filming of the movie would entail the presence of 100 VW vehicles of all shapes and sizes. There would be one scene in the film that would be shot showing a gathering/car show of all VW vehicles. Since the producer is an independent one, (whatever that means) and their budget is limited (independent nga eh), they will give one (1) free breakfast meal each to the driver and one companion per VW vehicle participating. The drivers and companions should not expect any talent fee because they have no talents anyway(joke3). It’s the VW cars that’s needed (kaya nga Pendong ang title eh ).
The producer promised that the gathering/carshow scene would be extensive and would be given longer exposure in the final cut of the film
So, if you want to be part of this very first Philippine film involving lots and lots of VWs, sign-up and don’t be left out of this event. The first 100 VW owners to sign-up will be given the meals as mentioned. We will give priority to the guys who have signed up and will actually join in the bugrun/outreach to Tagaytay this coming Friday and to those who will join the mini-run on Saturday from Burger King to Fort Bonifacio.
Concessionaires who wish to sell anything may contact Club Secretary Oscar Dizon (09173977931) for arrangements.

Volkswagen Club of the Philippines (VWCP) All-VW Classic and Custom Show 2009
Volkswagen Club of the Philippines (VWCP) All-VW Classic and Custom Show 2009, Naval Parade Grounds, Fort Bonifacio, Sunday, December 6, 2009
UPDATE: 12/07/09
The turnout was great despite all the calamities that happened earlier this year. It was good to see the Vdubbers enjoy this day even if we had some real bad experiences. It was a time to tell our stories of how Ondoy devasted our community and how we coped, and how we got together to put all the bad things that happened behind and move on.
It was nice to see some cars already up and running but it was also sad to know that there are still some VDubs out there that have yet to recover. We miss them.

Hotrod Festival & Car Restoration Expo
This will be held on March 15, 2009, Sunday, at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. The different car clubs will meet in different areas and then meet up in a long motorcade along a route to be announced later.
Each car club will have a Miss Hotrod candidate who will be their representative in the beauty and talent competition.
Expect “Lindsay” and “Herbie” to make an appearance on that day.
Each car club by the way will be given 20 parking slots. We will try our best to have all VW cars in attendance to be group altogether reminiscent of the parking we did during the last Guinness attempt. Traditionally, in all car club meets in the recent past, the VW contingent has always been the largest in attendance. Let us not break that tradition…let’s all bring out our VWs and ROAR!Stay tuned for further announcements

A Message From The Volkswagen Club of the Philippines (VWCP) President
A MESSAGE FROM THE VWCP PRESIDENT
(March 5, 2008)
Dear VWCP Members and VW Enthusiasts,
THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT
Twenty seven (27) days from today or on April 6, 2008 we will be seeing the biggest gathering of Volkswagen Vehicles (of all kinds and makes) at the Quezon Memorial Circle from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. I request and strongly urge that each of us attend this big national and unprecedented event in which we will attempt to set a new Guinness Record. Let us be counted and be proud to put on our VWs a commemorative sticker which states that we are RECORD HOLDERS and PARTICIPANTS in this event which will be highlighted and recorded internationally.
The stickers will be given free to the participants on a per car basis. We will also be giving free breakfast on a per driver/participant basis together with all other amenities which would include a Certificate of Participation, among others.
The Quezon City Government was very generous enough to accommodate our requests by giving their all out support for the success of this affair. The accompanying event after the Guinness parade affair will be festive and the main venue is the Quezon City Hall Compound. There will be Programs and Entertainments for the participants, their families and guests. We will be having SWAP MEET, an opportunity for you to get the rarest and most difficult to find VW parts which you have been hunting for quite a time. Food stalls and concessions have been permitted by the City Government in order to serve the need of those who will not be able to avail of the Free Breakfast. Ample Accommodation, Security, Health and Fire Protection will be provided by the Quezon City Department of Public Safety, the PNP City Hall Detachment, the Bureau of Fire Protection, the Quezon City Health Department and the General Services Offices. To make the affair more attractive and festive the Quezon City Cultural and Tourism has pledged its all out assistance.
For our chapter's members who wish to stay overnight before the event but who would be financially burdened by a hotel accommodation fee, the city government has given the approval for them to pitch their tents at a designated and fully secured area within the City Hall Compound. They will be given access to the use of two comfort rooms at the ground floor, one for the male and the other for the female.
For those chapter members/provincial participants who would want discounted hotel rates, then they could coordinate with us for discounted rates at Fersal Hotel Chain, Quezon City which will be arranged for them courtesy of the Quezon City Cultural and Tourism Office. As I have said, we have worked for a "free" or "almost free" accommodation at Pearl Hotel Manila (joint in front of the NBI Headquarters) on a first come first serve and on a limited basis.
For the chapter in the island provinces (Panay and Iloilo) Past President Ed Roces is negotiating with Negros Navigation for a special accommodation or a discounted passenger/cargo fare. You will be accordingly notified of the results in this regard.
Let us therefore prepare our treasured VWs and be part of this event. For further particulars, please consult the flyers which we have regularly distributed.
Yours sincerely,
Atty. Sam Baldado
President, VWCP
