Now managed directly by GAC headquarters, the company is positioned to provide faster parts availability, more efficient aftersales support, and closer coordination across its nationwide dealer network, reinforcing customer confidence during this new phase of operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">The event served as a key platform to align dealers on GAC Philippines\u2019 strategic direction, anchored by the ONE GAC brand philosophy of One Brand, One Channel, and One Service, which aims to deliver consistent standards across sales, service, and customer experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">Dealer principals and representatives from Metro Manila, North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao took part in a dealer agreement signing ceremony during the conference. The nationwide participation underscored the strength and breadth of GAC\u2019s dealer network and stands as a clear testament to market stability and long-term confidence in GAC\u2019s direction, structure, and investments in the Philippine market.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12854\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12854\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12854\" src=\"https:\/\/breakfresh.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Picture2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"284\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12854\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">GAC DEALER PRINCIPALS FROM METRO MANILA CONDUCT THE SIGNING CEREMONY AT THE 2026 GAC DEALER CONFERENCE HELD IN MAKATI CITY ON FEBRUARY 27, 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">\u201cThe change to self-operation shows our strong confidence in the local market.
