Toyota PH donates emergency preparedness equipment to Marikina

MANILA: Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has donated rubber boats and communications equipment to the local government of Marikina to help strengthen the emergency preparedness of the city’s residents and community leaders.

In 2020, a devastating typhoon put Marikina in a state of calamity. To help keep the city safe and coordinated, TMP has applied its discipline of continuous improvement by reinforcing resources that can be used when another disaster strikes.

The turnover ceremony was graced by Marikina City Mayor Marcelino Teodoro, Acting City Administrator Janet Obispo, Marikina Rescue 161 Head Dave David, and Toyota Marikina General Manager Maria Teresa Cabellon.

In a statement, TMP President Atsuhiro Okamoto said, “Toyota Motor Philippines and Toyota Marikina are proud to be your partner in moving Marikina's people, the economy,  and  the  government  through  the  vehicles  that  respond  to  your  varying  needs.  With this pledge of support in the form of these donations, we are also committing to be your partner in protecting lives, especially now that we are approaching the country's typhoon season.”

Driven by its mission to give Filipinos easier access to mobility, this effort facilitates the cause to connect more people safely and with enough preparation. TMP helps strengthen the partnership between private and public sectors so they can work together in taking care of the communities. Last year, TMP donated 30 Vios units to public hospitals in Metro Manila and Laguna to serve as transportation for medical frontliners.
