Founded in 2012 by Fil-Am Paul Cotaco, VANkulture is a collective of modified, slammed, and tricked-out family cars that prove the point that any car can be modified and look good. It's also an obvious fit for our streets–full of family guys and AUV's which fit the van meta–so it didn't take long then for a Pinoy version to follow as VANKulture Philippines was assembled in 2014!


We met one of the local group's founders, Hiro Ishikawa, during their meet at MOA's NU Parking building and heard an interesting story about choosing a Mitsubishi Adventure over a Lancer EX! And ogled a whole lot of good-looking vans that you would never mistake for a UV!
