Motor Image Pilipinas, the exclusive distributor of Subaru vehicles in the Philippines, held the 2017 Palm Challenge last Saturday, September 9, 2017, at 9th Avenue, Bonifacio High Street, Taguig City. A total of five all-new XV vehicles flanked with aspiring contestants vying to represent the Philippines in the Singapore Finals this October were used.

After almost 11 hours of holding onto the vehicles without letting go of their right palm latched onto the cars, the final 10 finalists were determined. Alex Neblasca, perennial Philippine winner and last year’s runner-up in the Regional Palm Challenge finals in Singapore, was once again part of the Philippines Top 10, but surprisingly came in 3nd this time around. The multi-titled Neblasca was outlasted by Rheden Pinoliad, a factory worker, and the new Philippine champion Juntie Torres, who serves as a security guard for his day job.
