Gateway and Kia Philippines have had a fruitful relationship thus far. The dynamic partnership between Gateway Dealership, the official operator of Kia Sto. Tomas and Kia Philippines have been crucial in growing Kia in the Philippines. The Gateway Group also owns four other dealerships on top of the one that just opened, these include Kia Mandaue, Kia Gorodo, Kia Talisay, and Kia San Pablo.
“I trust in the Kia brand and I am positive about the value that it can bring to Filipinos through Kia Philippines. Together, we can greatly contribute in uplifting the country’s transportation industry.”
Markane Goho
Chairman, Gateway Group
Mr. Manny Aligada then went on to express the same level of optimism: “Gateway is a significant business partner and valued dealer group owner. They are exemplars in terms of executing the Kia mission and vision to provide quality products and services to the Filipino consumers.”
