The wait is finally over! After nearly a decade away, EMMA Philippines made a triumphant return to the Queen City of the South for the 1st Cebu Car Audio United car show. Held from February 26–27, 2026, at the vibrant Northdrive Cebu, the event proved that the passion for high-fidelity sound in the region has only grown stronger with time.
It has been 9 years since our last official visit to Cebu, and we couldn’t be happier to be back. The energy from the local community was electric, reminding us why Cebu remains a cornerstone of the Philippine car culture.
The competition saw an impressive turnout with 44 cars lining up to be judged. What was most inspiring, however, was the influx of new talent. A significant number of participants were first-timers to the EMMA competition format.
Stepping into the lanes for the first time can be daunting, but these newcomers rose to the challenge, showcasing builds that displayed incredible potential and a deep dedication to the craft of mobile media.
To our old friends and our many new ones: Thank you. Your hospitality and enthusiasm made this homecoming truly special. This event marks a new chapter for EMMA in the Visayas, and we promise it won’t be another nine years before we see you again!
