Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has signed a partnership with Phil. Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) on its new Bahay Alalay Temporary Accommodation Program. The program will serve as a shelter for watchers and recurring outpatient children needing periodic pediatric services.
Isuzu is constructing the Bahay Alalay
Present at the signing ceremony held at the PCMC Compound in Quezon City were key officials from concerned parties including IPC President Tetsuya Fujita and PCMC Executive Director Dr. Sonia Gonzales.
“Every day, PCMC receives hundreds of children from all over the country, and providing a proper shelter for recurring patients and their watchers is much a needed facility in the hospital. Isuzu being the ‘Responsible Partner’ cares about the overall well-being and welfare of these children, especially those coming from provinces not having enough money to find a place here in the city,” said Fujita.
Architecture's perspective of the building
The Bahay Alalay will be constructed within PCMC’s compound. It will be built with a reception, cafeteria, playroom, and sleeping quarters area separate for male and female occupants.
Upon completion, IPC will provide Php one million worth of equipment and furniture to the three-floor facility. The Japanese automaker will also adopt the Bahay Alalay’s playroom to ensure that the children will have an area for fun and games during their stay.
“We are very thankful to Isuzu Philippines for partnering with us in this project. The support will definitely have a big impact in providing a more decent facility for the parents and watchers of our patients,” said Dr. Gonzales.
The program is made possible via a partnership with Phil. Children’s Medical Center
The Bahay Alalay program is just one of the many corporation social responsibility (CSR) projects that IPC will commence for the year. One of the completed projects this 2023 was donating Php 250,000 to the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI). The company said it will continue helping society and caring for the environment under its “Road to Progress” campaign.
