HCPI’s future with Nakamura-san
The newly appointed president of HCPI faces a tough challenge as Honda Cars Philippines closed its factory in Santa Rosa, Laguna affecting approximately 380 workers.
Trade Secretary Ramon M. Lopez further clarified this issue by saying that the suspension of HCPI’s factory in Laguna was a decision prompted by Honda’s headquarters. Nakamura-san will be working from Honda’s headquarters to a workplace with no manufacturing sector.
With all the challenges presented, the new HCPI top executive still looks forward to sharing his expertise with the local team as he hopes to steer Honda’s automobile business through a challenging and evolving automotive landscape.
