Team XU Mekan-Eco would like to express its most sincere gratitude and appreciation to Paras Machinery Works Corporation. The opportunity of the team to partake in the Shell Eco Marathon Asia Pacific and the Middle East Seasons 2024 and 2025, which were held in Indonesia and Qatar respectively, would not have been made possible without the sponsorship of Paras Machinery Works. Their effective guidance and relentless support have fueled our hopes of doing the impossible; they continue to be an inspiration of what could be made out of passion and sheer will.

Thank you so much for believing in us since Day 1, you are part of our history!

We thank each and everyone that supported us along the way. We are beyond grateful and honored to receive the Exemplar Award and this would not be possible without the support of each and everyone.

Magis Uno is more than just a car – it’s a symbol of the spirit we carry as Xavier Ateneo students. Built with purpose, passion, and the desire to go beyond, it reflects the very heart of Magis – doing more, being more, and choosing excellence. This year’s Magis Awards theme, ‘Live Like That’, challenges us to embody this daily – to live intentionally, compassionately, and courageously. Magis Uno was created not just to run, but to represent the drive within us to innovate, to care for the planet, and to uplift the community. In every turn of its wheels, it echoes a life lived not for the self, but for a greater cause. To live like that is to choose Magis, every single day.

With that, we dedicate this award to all of you. This year's Magis Awards theme 'Live Like That' reminds us that living with purpose, integrity, and service truly makes all the difference. Thank you for recognizing the journey — this is for everyone who continues to choose the magis every day.

XU Mekan-Eco will continue to move forward to Live Like That!
