Second Judge training at the Phillipines

Under the sun

After last November’s successful training in Manila, Emma was invited back to hold the second training session in Cebu. February 22, 23 and 24. The training was held at the Outpost Restaurant in Cebu which was an ideal location for the training. The level of the participants in Cebu was very high similar to that that we had in Manila at the first training. On the Sunday, practical training was done on 3 cars, so the new judges had “real time “ training. All the judges passed the written and practical exam. The Philippines can boast that they have the first Asian female EMMA judge, the pride of Cebu, Michelle. Congratulations Michelle well done. By the way Michelle is also a very successful Drifter driver and has won a few competitions in the Philippines.

3 judges come from Manila to help out during the training. I was really impressed by the enthusiasm shown by the old and new judges. Cebu Tv also paid the Emma team a visit and will be showing a short clip about Emma International and Emma Philipines. I had some very memorable experiences with the cars built for so-called “outside listening pleasure”. From my point of view the future of EMMA in the Philippines will grow from strength to strength.
