MOTOR IMAGE Pilipinas, Inc., exclusive distributor of Subaru vehicles in the Philippines, made a special visit to share joy with beneficiaries at Hospicio de San Jose. Bearing Subaru merchandise such as Subaru Safety Ambassador plush toys and Subaru apparel, company executives created a mini-shopping mall for residents of the Roman Catholic welfare institution. The residents could select a plush toy and apparel of their choice. In addition, a check was presented to the Hospicio de San Jose leadership to support the educational needs of the young residents.
This monetary gift was raised at the recent Manila International Auto Show 2023 when audience at the popular “Subaru x Russ Swift Rustle and Hustle” stunt shows contributed to this worthy cause. Over multiple performances throughout the four days, renowned British precision driver Russ Swift performed his signature stunts to packed stands. A total of P139,000 was generated, and full proceeds from the ticket sales were presented at a simple ceremony-cum-Subaru shopping spree.
Said Sr. Martha Gamolo, DC, “We would like to thank Mr. Glenn Tan and Subaru Philippines for the generosity and continuous support to Hospicio de San Jose. The gifts and monetary proceeds will be of great help for us here as this would allow us to continue our commitment of providing integral development to vulnerable and excluded sectors of society.”
Added Tan Chong International Limited Deputy Chairman and Managing Director Glenn Tan, “We are delighted to support the beneficiaries of Hospicio de San Jose, as their mission aligns with Tan Chong International Limited’s values of being reliable and responsible in all our business practices as we aim to provide care, support, a sense of belonging and empowerment to both our employees and customers, while fostering hope for a brighter future. I hope this initiative reinforces and reminds the beneficiaries that they are not just recipients of gift-giving but part of something bigger — our Tan Chong community.”
