On 27 July, Isuzu Philippines Corporation, maker of the country's No. 1 truck brand, turned over 16 units of the Traviz Rescue Vehicle to the Second District of Oriental Mindoro.

In a formal ceremony, Isuzu Calapan handed the units to Rep. Alfonso Umali Jr. Board member Jean Paulo Umali, Pinamalayan Mayor Aristeo Baldos, and Mansalay Mayor Ferdinand Maliwanag were also present during the turn-over rites.

IPC president Tetsuya Fujita wasn't able to make it due to bad weather, but sent his message.

"It is our honor to be part of this program to assist in helping our kababayans here in Mindoro, especially during this rainy season, when there are a lot of typhoons and disasters," said Fujita.

Previously, IPC already delivered Traviz Rescue Vehicles to the LGU which are now being utilized in different barangays in the area.

The recent delivery will still be part of the LGU's continuous campaign to modernize and strengthen its rescue efforts and will be distributed to 136 barangays in the province.

Meanwhile, Congressman Umali also shared why their district continues to choose Isuzu trucks: "We trust Isuzu Traviz due to its mobility," said Umali.

Its customers nationwide are brought by its strong dealer network and nationwide parts availability. On top of that the company also offers free safety and eco-drive training, on-site servicing through Isuzu Mobile Medic, and fleet servicing and assessment conducted by its expert service technicians and Japanese truck engineers.
