Saving lives for Filipinos’ One Dream
Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI), the No. 1 motorcycle manufacturer in the country, through Honda Foundation Inc., the corporate social responsibility arm of the Honda Group of Companies, recently donated motorcycle units to Philippine Red Cross (PRC) to help mobilize and support its advocacies.
Last Nov. 7, the Honda Philippines team, headed by HPI president Susumu Mitsuishi and HPI executive consultant Armie Reyes, handed over a total of 21 motorcycle units, particularly ten TMX125 Alpha and 11 Wave 110 Alpha, to the board members of the PRC, headed by Sen. Richard Gordon, the organization’s chairman and CEO.
The project aims to help the PRC in providing quality lifesaving service to the community through Honda motorcycles that can serve as the quickest mode of transportation. The motorcycles will also help enable on-time delivery of services to its beneficiaries and donors, especially during emergency situations. A total of 104 motorcycle units will be donated to PRC to be distributed to 104 PRC chapters nationwide. “Honda has always been committed to helping important institutions, like the Philippine Red Cross, in achieving advocacies that save lives. We also consider this project as our way of giving back to the community,” said Mitsuishi.
As a premier humanitarian organization, the PRC is committed to providing quality life-saving services that protect the life and dignity, especially of indigent Filipinos in vulnerable situations. At present, the organization provides six major services: Blood services, disaster management services, safety services, health services, social services, Red Cross Youth, and Volunteer services.
“The Honda family is grateful for this opportunity to help and collaborate with the Philippine Red Cross in the best way we can as we share the same dream of providing better quality lives for Filipinos,” added Mitsuishi.
The donation project is also in line with Honda’s One Dream campaign to make Honda products serve as tools in achieving one’s dream and to unite all Filipinos through meaningful projects and activities.
