What sets the best car company apart from its competitors is its ability to go beyond just promoting products, selling cars, earning revenues, and paying its workforce. It also has to put in as much care for the community it operates in as it does for itself. Take, for instance, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation or MMPC.
Recently, MMPC found itself on the stage with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), a non-profit humanitarian organization. There, Mitsubishi Philippines was given the PRC Blood Service Platinum Award for its solid support of PRC’s programs centered on promoting voluntary blood donations, as well as organizing its own mobile blood donation drives.
The PRC Blood Service Platinum Award was handed to MMPC during PRC’s Blood Donation Recognition and Awarding Ceremony in Laguna, which ran with the theme, “Give Blood, Give Hope: Together We Save Lives,” honoring individual and corporate donors for their role in supporting PRC’s humanitarian missions.
Over the past five years, Mitsubishi Philippines has provided a total of 896 blood units as a result of its noble efforts to serve the community. Just last year, MMPC 207 blood bags, equivalent to 93,150cc.
MMPC, as a company, may have been recognized for its duties as a public servant beyond the motoring business, but its workforce has also been honored for its noble deeds. Kevin Reglos, Joselle Memije, Gerardo Yamsuan, and a former employee, Dominador Advincula, Jr., were cited for consistently donating more than a gallon of blood each, proving that the spirit of volunteerism is alive and thriving among the working class.
PRC underscored the importance of voluntary blood donation, calling it an essential service to Filipinos. The humanitarian organization also reaffirmed its call for wider support to ensure a sufficient blood supply for patients in need.
Mitsubishi Philippines’ participation over the years has helped sustain the humanitarian cause, reflecting the continuing partnership between Mitsubishi and the Philippine Red Cross.
