In a ceremonial donation event held at the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Headquarters in Mandaluyong City, Honda Foundation, Inc. (HFI) reaffirmed its commitment to bringing relief and comfort to the community amidst calamity and disaster by generously donating PHP 1 million to the Philippine Red Cross last October 29, 2024. Through this donation, Honda aims to provide hope and inspiration to the families severely affected by Typhoon Kristine, particularly in Batangas Province within CALABARZON, as well as in Region 5 and Northern Luzon. 

“PRC has been a trusted partner of Honda in reaching out and helping communities for decades, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and Super Typhoon Odette in 2021. Recently, in September 2024, PRC received life-saving generator sets to power up Philippine Red Cross chapters nationwide. Honda will continue nurturing its partnership with the Philippine Red Cross, sharing the common value of saving Filipino lives,” said the Honda Foundation Board. “Furthermore, Honda, with deep gratitude to the Filipinos who continuously patronize Honda products, will always stand alongside the community in rebuilding and realizing the dream of a bright future for every family. Together for Tomorrow.”

(manufacturer/distributor of motorcycles and power products), Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (automobile products), Honda Parts Manufacturing, Inc.

Honda will aspire to become “a company that society wants to exist,” and will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, by serving people worldwide with the joy of expanding the people’s life potential through its social contribution initiatives.
