Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) recently donated motorcycle units to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) to help mobilize and support the advocacies of the latter. The motorcycle manufacturer did the donation through Honda Foundation, Inc., the corporate social responsibility arm of the Honda Group of Companies.
Headed by HPI President Susumu Mitsuishi and HPI Executive Consultant Armie Reyes, the HPI team handed over a total of 21 motorcycle units, particularly 10 TMX125 Alpha and 11 Wave 110 Alpha, to the PRC board members on November 7, 2019. Along with Mitsuishi and Reyes, PRC chairman and CEO Senator Richard J. Gordon attended the event with PRC secretary general Elizabeth S. Zavalla, PRC board of governors members Dean Danilo Concepcion, Jose Emery F. Roble, Eduardo A. Bangayan, Saeed A . Daof, Corazon Alma G. de Leon and VSO Phils Corporation managing director Edward Jose.
The project aims to help the PRC in providing quality life-saving service to the community through Honda motorcycles that can serve as the quickest mode of transportation and will 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 distributed to 104 PRC chapters across the Philippines.
“Honda has always been committed to helping important institutions, like the Philippine Red Cross, in achieving advocacies that save lives,” Mitsuishi said. “We also consider this project as our way of giving back to the community.”
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 namely blood services, disaster management services, safety services, health services, social services, volunteer services and Red Cross Youth.
The donation project is in line with Honda’s ONE DREAM campaign, which aims to make Honda products serve as tools in achieving one’s dream and to unite all Filipinos through meaningful projects and activities. Mitsuishi said, “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.”
