Thailand Already Has the Factory. Is the Philippines Next?

In 2015, the Philippines tried to become a regional car manufacturing hub — and fell short. Now there’s a second attempt underway, and the world’s best-selling EV maker is reportedly deciding between the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia for its next Southeast Asian factory.

In this video, we break down why the Philippines could become a car export hub by 2030: why the 2015 CARS program struggled to hit the production scale it needed, how the 2022 EVIDA law shifted the entire bet from combustion engines to EVs, what makes the new EVIS incentive program fundamentally different — with real financial consequences for companies that don’t follow through — why BYD is reportedly scouting Philippine factory sites, the Philippines’ standing as the world’s second-largest nickel producer and top exporter, and the honest infrastructure gap that still has to close before any of this becomes permanent.

This isn’t a hype video. Every figure here comes from public, verified sources — government executive orders, trade officials’ statements, and independent reporting — all linked below so you can check it yourself. Some visuals in this video are AI-generated for illustration and don’t depict real footage; all factual claims are independently sourced.
