At the 2023 Manila International Auto Show, Subaru Philippines wowed visitors with the Russ Swift stunt show. But what’s more impressive is all proceeds from the stunt show have been given to the Hospicio de San Jose, a Roman Catholic welfare institution in Manila.
Subaru Philippines donated to Hospicio de San Jose to support education
More specifically, the proceeds will support the educational needs of the welfare institution's young residents. The handover event for the said donation was attended by representatives from concerned parties including Mr. Glenn Tan, Deputy Chairman and Managing Director of Tan Chong International Limited.
“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,” said Sr. Martha Gamolo, DC.

A total of Php 139,000 was raised from the Russ Swift stunt show held at the motoring event. During the said show, Swift, a world-renowned stunt driver, and Guinness World Record holder, pushed Subaru cars to the limit by performing the Swift parking stunt, J-turns, donuts, and dance routines.

In addition to the proceeds, Subaru Philippines also set up a mini-shopping mall for every resident at the Hospicio de San Jose to select a plush toy and apparel of their choice.
“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,” said Tan.
As a side note, one of the Subaru cars present at the stunt show was the next-gen Subaru WRX. It graced the show area with its sporty appearance and sharp design cues from the front to the back. Powering this vehicle is a 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer-four engine good for 271 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque.
