- Suzuki Philippines has long been in the business of selling compact vehicles. Yet it has likewise been a responsible member of society as it continually collaborates with various organizations that benefit worthwhile causes. The latest of which is a project with ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation Inc.
The non-stock, non-profit organization was the recipient of 16 brand new Suzuki vehicles donated by SPH for the Bantay Bata 163 and Bantay Kalikasan projects. Suzuki donated two Carry Utility Vehicles and 14 A-X4 motorcycles.
Of the 16 vehicles, the two Suzuki Carry and two A-x4 motorbikes will be used by the Bantay Bata Children’s Village and Bantay Kalikasan headquarters located at the La Mesa Eco Park. The remaining 12 vehicles, consisting of the A-X4 motorcycles, will be deployed in the various Bantay Kalikasan offices scattered in various regions around the country.
The said vehicles will support operations by providing worry-free transport to help volunteers and other personnel fulfill their duties. These vehicles, though they don’t really let on, are capable of traversing even the roughest terrain—ideal for getting to remote locations to help save children and the environment.
Suzuki Philippines is no stranger to helping ABS-CBN’s different worthy causes. The partnership began in 2013 via Sagip Kapamilya,a project that aimed to help calamity-stricken areas via rehabilitation and sustainable efforts.
