Honda Philippines has once again shown its compassion to the community as it donated relief packs to 500 households in Barangay Binabag, Bogo City, Cebu, which were severely affected by the recent earthquake.
Through Honda Foundation, Inc. (HFI), Honda PH donated packages to earthquake-stricken Bogo City, which contained essential food items for the community’s recovery. HFI shared that the donations were distributed directly to the families and through the barangay’s purok leaders to ensure they were delivered efficiently and fairly.
President of HFI and Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Rie Miyake, said that the car brand wanted to reach out to Filipinos going through this difficult time.
“At Honda, through HFI, we want to reach out to our fellow Filipinos going through this difficult time. We extend our sincerest thoughts and sympathies to everyone affected. May you all recover as soon as possible, and please stay safe,” said Miyake.
HFI vows to stay committed to uplifting communities and upholding the spirit of bayanihan in times of adversity.
The relief operation was carried out by a team of dedicated Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) Cebu Associates, led by Reynaldo Casia, Deputy Department Manager for Visayas Field Sales. Members of HFI include HPI, HCPI, Honda Parts Manufacturing, Corp. (HPMC), and Honda Trading Philippines Ecozone, Corp. (HTPE).
Before this initiative, Honda also participated in the Coastal Cleanup Day, held in Barangay Caingin, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. The event focused on protecting marine ecosystems and raising awareness of the effects of environmental neglect. It highlighted the consequences of irresponsible waste management, such as habitat destruction and biodiversity loss.
More than 2,000 volunteers from diverse backgrounds, including government offices, private companies, schools, civic organizations, and other community groups, participated in the coastal cleanup.
The combined efforts resulted in the collection and segregation of 12,231 kg of debris, which were later taken to a dump site in San Pedro for proper disposal.
