To be emceed by Cito Beltran, Usapan AAP will be the first of a series of informal roundtable talks organized by AAP with government and private sector personalities who are involved in making motoring safe, sustainable and efficient for all road users.

It will be a congenial interaction with selected motoring journalists and business media in the interest of promoting road safety, which is the primary advocacy of AAP.

Founded in 1931 as the Philippine Motor Association, the Automobile Association Philippines is a non-stock, non-profit private organization upholding the interests of the motoring public with road safety as the primary objective.

As the National Auto Club, AAP issues the Philippine international driving permit, provides free emergency roadside service, discounts on insurance, tires, batteries and other motoring-related products and services to members.

AAP, as the only Philippine affiliate of the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), sanctions and supervises all four-wheel motor sport events in the country.

The association also promotes sustainable tourism and will soon open the AAP Travel Inc.
