Isuzu Philippines Corporation finally completed its one million peso cash donation to four selected hospitals in different regions in the country with each hospital receiving P250,000 to aid in their projects and necessities. This after the truck maker recently gave the specific amount to Dumarao Medicare Hospital, a local government-run hospital in Dumarao, Capiz, catering patients from several nearby barangays.
As part of the "Road to Progress" vision launched during its 25th inaugural anniversary in support of Sustainable Development Goals, IPC initiated a cash donation project to select hospitals nationwide specifically aiming to promote good health and well-being to various communities and living up to its tagline "Your Responsible Partner."
The first two P250,000 was turned over to Northern Mindanao Medical Center in Cagayan de Oro and Irosin District Hospital in Sorsogon. As pledged, IPC accomplished this feat before the year ended, turning over the last two P250,000 to Philippine Children's Medical Center in Quezon City and Dumarao Medicare Hospital in Capiz.
The two turnover ceremonies were separately done with IPC executives Imelda Bernas, assistant vice president for administration and Robert Carlos, sales assistant division head leading the ceremony.
Philippine Children's Medical Center is a government-run hospital specializing in pediatrics. Apart from catering pediatric patients, PCMC also serves a training ground for specialists with their training and service program. They are currently expanding and enhancing their facilities to better serve not just their patients but also their trainees. Using the cash donation from IPC, PCMC will build a shed for their waiting area to protect the patients, parents and personnel while waiting for their schedule.
Meanwhile, the small Capiz hospital is looking forward to purchase more medical supplies and medicines for their patients.
"We are glad that we are able to extend assistance to different hospitals nationwide through this Road to Progress donation project. As Filipino's responsible partner, our goal here is to be able to give back to the community, particularly those that are in dire need of assistance. Together with our dealers, we hope to uplift the life of many more Filipinos with our projects in line with our renewed visions," Bernas shared.
