Due to the enhanced community quarantine put in place to stifle the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been difficult for many essential workers to get to their respective places of work.
Coupled to that are the citywide lockdowns both in Metro Manila and nearby provinces, so there is indeed some degree of difficulty for frontline workers, especially medical workers who are currently working very long hours.

MMPC lends several L300 units
As such, like many other companies, automotive or otherwise, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) has joined the fight to defeat the COVID-19 outbreak by lending out several of its Mitsubishi L300 units. Two of which are lent to the Department of Transportation to shuttle medical workers and other essential personnel to and from Muntinlupa as well as Sta. Rosa.

Likewise, MMPC also lent out two L300 units to the local government of Sta. Rosa, Laguna. These two units will be utilized to transport medical frontliners and other essential workers within the city.
Due to the nature of the threat, each L300 unit will only carry ten passengers, including the driver in order to maintain social distancing. We can also presume that safety measures are also being observed by those using these vehicles like the donning of masks, and regular disinfecting.
