As part of its continuing efforts to promote environmental responsibility and community development, Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has donated ₱300,000 to support the mangrove rehabilitation program of the City Government of Alaminos, in coordination with its Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO).
The donation will support ongoing mangrove planting activities aimed at enhancing coastal protection, increasing biodiversity, and mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration. This contribution is part of IPC’s long-standing collaboration with Alaminos, which began in 2005 when the company adopted a local coastal area for conservation.
“Beyond our commitment to providing reliable transport solutions, we are equally dedicated to restoring and preserving the ecosystems that support our communities,” said IPC Executive Vice President Yasuhiko Oyama. “This initiative reflects our broader mission to contribute to inclusive and sustainable national development.”
In addition to its environmental support, IPC extended assistance to Longos Elementary School, located in a remote coastal barangay of Alaminos. The company distributed backpacks, notebooks, and other school supplies to 140 students and donated two printers with ink refills to help improve classroom and administrative functions. The initiative aims to support access to basic education and reduce economic pressure on families in the area.
Mayor Arth Bryan Celeste of Alaminos expressed appreciation for IPC’s continued involvement in the city’s development. “Isuzu Philippines has remained a dedicated partner since 2005. Their latest support to our environmental and educational programs proves how meaningful collaboration with the private sector can lead to lasting impact.”
The initiatives align with IPC’s corporate values and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those promoting quality education, climate action, and marine ecosystem preservation. With these efforts, Isuzu Philippines reaffirms its role as a responsible corporate citizen working towards a more resilient and inclusive future.
