TMP president Okamoto acknowledged the efforts of our local health workers by saying, “Toyota salutes all healthcare workers in the country – the brave heroes who continue to work relentlessly to care for the sick and preserve life. Please accept Toyota’s humble contribution of providing mobility services through our proudly Philippine-made and ever-dependable Toyota Vios.”
During the event, one Vios unit each was given to Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center, San Lazaro Hospital, and San Lorenzo Ruiz Women’s Hospital. The rest of the Vios units are set to be donated by July 2020.

TMP Chairman Alfred V. Ty appreciated the efforts of the Philippine government for its strong leadership, as well as those dedicated front-liners who work tirelessly amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As a strong partner for nation-building, we are committed to heed the call of Filipinos as they begin to rebuild their lives. We need to help them get back to work every day. We have to make sure that we can take them to the hospital when they need care.
We must ensure that essential workers can transport themselves to their workplaces to care for our loved ones. When we can once again move freely, we will be there to bring families and friends together,” Ty added.
