The result capped a busy week for the group, particularly for Dasovich, who made the trip to Davao via the “Drive Electric. Love Pinas.” route. The cross-country drive, backed by BYD and ACMobility in partnership with the Department of Tourism, aimed to highlight the growing push for electrified mobility across the Philippines.

BYD’s corporate relay squad also delivered a strong showing. The team, composed of two-time Olympian Jasmine Alkhaldi, endurance athlete Jennifer Uy, and experienced triathlete Jens Jacobsen, finished within the top eight out of 34 teams in their division, bringing the BYD flag through the finish line.

The collaboration with Ironman 70.3 Davao reflects BYD’s focus on performance, endurance, and innovation, while tying in its broader push for sustainable mobility. A sentiment echoed by BYD Chief Marketing Officer Dino Obias.

“We are extremely proud of both teams who powered through the event; their performance reflects the discipline and resilience we value at ACMobility. We chose to partner with Ironman 70.3 Davao specifically because it serves as a powerful extension of our ‘Drive Electric. Love Pinas' initiative. By supporting an event that demands such high endurance and extensive travel, we are able to showcase how our advanced technology and growing charging ecosystem empower every Filipino's journey – whether they are an athlete pushing their limits or a traveler exploring our country from North to South.”
