Long-standing partnership returns as CIFOS 2026 prepares to bring Filipino motorsports fans two major festival weekends at Clark International Speedway

CLARK, PAMPANGA, Philippines — The engines are preparing to roar once again as the Clark International Festival of Speed (CIFOS) and News Philippines Online (NPO) officially reignite their long-standing media partnership for CIFOS 2026, marking another exciting chapter in a collaboration that has helped bring the country's growing motoring and motorsports community closer to audiences since 2023.

After years of shared coverage, storytelling, and support for the Philippine motoring community, News Philippines Online will once again serve as one of the Official Media Partners of CIFOS 2026, covering both major festival weekends at the iconic Clark International Speedway.

The partnership will bring comprehensive media coverage, digital storytelling, event features, interviews, social media engagement, and post-event recaps as CIFOS returns with what is expected to be one of the most exciting motoring events of the year.

TWO MAJOR FESTIVALS. ONE PASSION FOR SPEED.

CIFOS 2026 will feature two major festival weekends designed to celebrate the passion, technology, lifestyle, competition, and community behind Philippine motorsports.

CIFOS 4-Wheel Festival

October 16–18, 2026

CIFOS 2-Wheel Festival

November 27–29, 2026

Both events will take place at the Clark International Speedway, bringing together drivers, riders, racing teams, automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts, industry stakeholders, businesses, sponsors, exhibitors, content creators, and motorsports fans.

For News Philippines Online, the renewed partnership represents more than a commitment to cover an event. It is a commitment to help tell the continuing story of Philippine motorsports and the people, communities, technologies, and passions driving the industry forward.

“CIFOS is more than an event to be covered. It is a dynamic platform where motorsports, technology, entertainment, business, and Filipino passion come together,” said Henry V. Bayubay, Marketing Director of News Philippines Online Maharlika Media Inc.

“Having supported CIFOS since 2023, News Philippines Online is proud to continue this journey in 2026. We look forward to helping bring the excitement, stories, personalities, and unforgettable moments of CIFOS to a wider audience across the Philippines.”

A PARTNERSHIP BUILT THROUGH THE YEARS

The relationship between CIFOS and News Philippines Online has grown over several years through continued media support and a shared vision of giving the Philippine motoring community greater visibility.

Recognizing NPO's continuing contribution, the CIFOS organizing team once again invited the media organization to become an official media partner for both festival weekends in 2026.

Geann Pineda, Head of Communications of the Clark International Festival of Speed, expressed appreciation for the partnership that CIFOS and NPO have developed through the years.

CIFOS also confirmed its continued support for the NPO coverage team, including accommodation in Clark as part of the Media Partner package for both festival weekends.

The partnership provides News Philippines Online with media accreditation, event access, official media materials, and opportunities to engage with participating drivers, teams, and motorsports personalities.

News Philippines Online, in return, will support CIFOS through pre-event features, digital promotion, onsite reporting, interviews, event stories, social media coverage, and post-event recaps.

BRINGING THE STORIES BEHIND THE SPEED

The renewed partnership comes at a time when Philippine motorsports and motoring culture continue to attract a growing community of enthusiasts.

Through its digital platforms, News Philippines Online aims to bring audiences beyond the race track and into the stories that make CIFOS a unique national event.

From the roar of engines and the excitement of competition to the latest automotive technologies, talented Filipino drivers and riders, racing teams, exhibitors, and passionate motoring communities, NPO's coverage will highlight the people and stories behind the festival.

The media partnership is expected to provide audiences with wider access to CIFOS 2026 through digital news, feature stories, interviews, photographs, videos, and social media content.

A NEW YEAR OF SPEED, TECHNOLOGY AND EXCITEMENT

CIFOS continues to establish itself as a major platform for motorsports and motoring enthusiasts in the Philippines.

The 2026 edition aims to bring together multiple sectors of the motoring industry while creating an exciting festival atmosphere for participants and spectators.

The event will serve as a meeting ground for:

Motorsports and racing communities;
Automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts;
Professional and amateur drivers and riders;
Racing teams and motorsports personalities;
Automotive and motorcycle brands;
Technology and mobility companies;
Industry partners and exhibitors;
Content creators and digital communities; and
Filipino fans and families who share a passion for motoring.

With the return of the 4-Wheel and 2-Wheel Festivals, CIFOS 2026 is expected to create two major weekends of speed, entertainment, competition, innovation, and community engagement.

REIGNITING THE PARTNERSHIP

For both organizations, the renewed partnership represents a continuation of a relationship built on trust and a common goal of supporting the growth and visibility of Philippine motorsports.

While CIFOS continues to focus on delivering an exciting and world-class festival experience, News Philippines Online will continue to bring the stories of the event to audiences across its growing digital media network.

The partnership also reflects the importance of collaboration between event organizers and media organizations in building stronger audience engagement and creating greater opportunities for communities, sponsors, participants, and industry partners.

As CIFOS 2026 approaches, the two organizations are preparing to once again combine the power of speed and storytelling.

The road to CIFOS 2026 has officially begun.

And this year, the engines will roar louder, the stories will travel farther, and the excitement will reach more Filipino motoring enthusiasts than ever before.

With the Clark International Festival of Speed and News Philippines Online once again joining forces, CIFOS 2026 is set to become a celebration of the passion that drives the Philippine motoring community forward.
