Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) held the 23rd Mitsubishi Skills Olympics (MSO) last January 11, 2025 at MMPC Training Center in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Mitsubishi Skills Olympics is an annual event hosted by MMPC showcasing the skills and expertise of its dealer personnel. This also serves as a platform to pick out the participants that will best represent the company at Mitsubishi Motors Corporation’s (MMC) Global Service Skills Competition in Japan.
This year, Carworld Inc. emerged as the overall grand champion, securing top awards across multiple categories and demonstrating the highest level of excellence.
The Mitsubishi Skills Olympics is a testament to MMPC’s commitment to the professional growth of its dealership network, designed to challenge participants, elevate their competencies, and reinforce the brand’s dedication to customer satisfaction.
This year’s competition was made even more significant with the introduction of two new categories, the Warranty Officer Contest and the Sales Customer Relations Officer (CRO) Contest. These additional categories further expand the platform to recognize all the vital roles within MMPC’s dealerships.
The champions of the Service Advisor category — Raymond Rivera of Carworld and Technician category — Jose G. Irinco of Diamond Motor, will represent MMPC at the prestigious Global Service Skills Competition hosted by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in Japan in December 2025. All finalists in all categories will also travel to Japan this year, with all expenses to be covered by MMPC.
