Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the country’s leading motorcycle manufacturer and power products provider, has once again proven that its vision goes beyond the road. Living up to its advocacy of being One with the Community, HPI recently completed the turnover of 140 brand-new 6.5KVA generator sets to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC)—a donation designed to bring light and life-saving power to Filipinos during times of crisis.
The partnership between HPI and PRC is far from new. For decades, they’ve worked hand in hand in supporting communities, from the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to the aftermath of Super Typhoon Odette in 2021. With this latest donation, Honda continues to strengthen that bond, ensuring PRC chapters nationwide are equipped with reliable power sources essential for emergency response, medical equipment, and uninterrupted communication during disasters.
The first batch of 70 units was turned over in September 2024, while the final 70 were recently handed over, sealing Honda’s commitment to stand alongside PRC in protecting lives.
“Just like the Philippine Red Cross, we at Honda share a deep commitment to saving lives. Through ‘Honda Loves You,’ we want to support trusted institutions that bring hope and safety to Filipinos, especially in times of need,” said HPI President Takeshi Kobayashi.
The ceremonial turnover gathered leaders from both organizations, including PRC Chairman Richard Gordon, Secretary General Gwendolyn Pang, and HPI executives led by Kobayashi and Assistant Vice President for Business Administration Gerry Datario.
These generator sets are expected to play a critical role, especially with the looming effects of La Niña and the frequent power outages brought by typhoons and other natural disasters. More than just machines, they represent Honda’s pledge to empower communities and keep families safe when the lights go out.
HPI remains steadfast in its mission of becoming “a company that society wants to exist.” Through initiatives like this, the brand continues to drive not only mobility and innovation but also social responsibility—expanding life’s potential by bringing comfort, safety, and hope to communities across the Philippines.
