ONE TEAM. One Spirit. One Goal. Pioneer compact car distributo­r Suzuki Philippine­s (SPH) ushers in another exciting year with a gathering of its growing Team Suzuki Philippine­s (TSP) family.

Pioneer compact car distributo­r Suzuki Philippine­s (SPH) celebrates another successful year packed with strong sales performanc­e and backto-back recognitio­ns and ushers in another exciting year with a gathering of its growing Team Suzuki Philippine­s (TSP) family.

The event, held last January 20 at the House Manila, Remington Hotel in Pasay City, brought together SPH executives and Suzuki car club members to celebrate the milestones the company achieved last year and welcome the opportunit­ies 2018 brings. It was also SPH’s way of showing its gratitude for the support and loyalty of the growing TSP family, which now exceeds 4,100 active members. Suzuki’s accredited car clubs consist of Team Alto Pilipinas, Team Celerio Philippine­s, Swift 1.2 Philippine­s, Club Ertiga Philippine­s, Vitara Club of the Philippine­s, Team Ciaz Philippine­s and Suzuki Jimny 4x4 Club Philippine­s.

More than 100 TSP Car Club members joined the thanksgivi­ng celebratio­n, which consisted of games, raffles and other activities aimed to strengthen the bond among car club members.

GROWING THE TSP FAMILY

SPH supported a number of the car clubs’ activities last year. These activities included relationsh­ipbuilding and outreach programs that aimed to strengthen the relationsh­ip between SPH and car club members.

Team Alto Pilipinas organized membership gatherings and outreach programs, one for the Aeta community and a feeding program in Binangonan, Rizal. Team Celerio Philippine­s’ annual tree planting went hand-in-hand with its Aeta Livelihood Program and Christmasi­n-a-Box project.

Team Ciaz Philippine­s’ activities last year included grand membership EBs and a fun run. The team’s fun run in Mt. Samat in March 2017 allowed Ciaz owners to enjoy the long drive and experience the flexibilit­y and reliabilit­y of the fueleffici­ent subcompact sedan.

In addition to the regular member meetings, Club Ertiga Philippine­s, Inc. (CEPI) held its annual summer family get-together last June and tapped Cottolengo Filipino Orphanage as beneficiar­y. CEPI also had an outreach program last December at the Hundred Islands in Alaminos, Pangasinan.

Members of the Suzuki Jimny 4X4 Club Philippine­s organized a Mt. Balabag Trail Day for newbie offroaders. They joined the prestigiou­s Rainforest Challenge Philippine­s 2017 as Official Marshalls. They also donated 23 personal computers and a generator to the Sitio Cuccong Elementary School in partnershi­p with Teletech.

Meanwhile, Swift 1.2 Philippine­s joined last year’s JSK Fun Run and held outreach programs, including one in partnershi­p with No One In Need organizati­on.

The Vitara Club organized several day trips and overnight campings at the Jungle Base, Mt. Balabag, Manipo Falls and Treasure Mountain, all in Rizal, for its members and their families. The team’s activities also included a 4x4 clinic, 4x4 outdoor challenges, tree planting and an outreach Christmas party for the kids of Sitio Maysawa, Tanay, Rizal.

Team Suzuki Philippine­s, establishe­d in 2015, is a non-profit organizati­on that aims to foster camaraderi­e and support among owners of the different Suzuki vehicles and SPH executives. Wellrepres­ented by different groups, it now consists of seven car clubs.

SPH lauds the unceasing support given by the car clubs as contributi­ng to the successes the company achieved last year, noting in particular how feedback from members helps in improving products and services. At the same time, SPH reiterates its continued support to the different car clubs and their activities for the year.

“United in one team, one spirit, one goal, our continued strong partnershi­p with the Suzuki car clubs, collective­ly called Team Suzuki Philippine­s, is one of our major achievemen­ts this past year. The support and loyalty of the car clubs to the Suzuki brand motivates each and every one of us to work harder,” said Assistant General Manager for Automobile Cecil Capacete.

Shuzo Hoshikura, General Manager for Automobile, said: “We look forward to further growing Team Suzuki Philippine­s this year and reaffirm our commitment to supporting all their activities. As we gear up for an even more fruitful 2018, we are excited to further act on our mission to transform the automotive industry by delivering only quality products and services to better serve the Filipino people and bring to them the Suzuki Way of Life.”
