SUBIC BAY FREEPORT – Ford Everest Club Philippines (FECP), a mid-size sports utility vehicles (SUV) club with 15,000 active members and one of the largest and most active car clubs in the country, succeeded in its attempt to break the Guinness world record for the “Largest Car Horn Ensemble” last Sunday, August 27.

A total of 1,077 Ford Everest SUVs simultaneously blew their horns to the tune of “Philippine Jeepney/Let’s Go” for a duration of one minute and six seconds at the New Clark City Aquatics Center to break the world record set 10 years ago.

From there the SUV convoy headed off to the Subic Bay International Airport (SBIA) where the certificate was awarded to the FECP by the Guinness World Records Official Adjudicator.

Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman and Administrator Jonathan D. Tan was among the officials who took part in the awarding ceremony at the SBIA tarmac.

“Today, Ford Everest Club Philippines not only created an awe-inspiring symphony of horns, but also brought excitement along with the unique experience that came with it. I am thrilled and delighted to have witnessed and become a part of this event,” Tan said during the awarding ceremony.

An estimated crowd of 5,000 club members, their families, organizers, sponsors and spectators took part in the event, with visitor arrivals in Subic peaking before, during, and after the event.

The MINI Club of Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA formerly held the record for the Largest Car Horn Ensemble during an event in August 2013. 
