Isuzu extends aid to Cebu earthquake victims

Isuzu Philippines Corporation, together with its Cebu dealer partner Iconic Dealership, Inc., donated essential relief supplies for 200 families in Bgy Poblacion, San Remigio, one of the municipalities most affected by the recent earthquake in northern Cebu.

This initiative follows the devastating 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck las month affecting over 170,000 individuals and claiming more than 70 lives.

Led by IPC department head of dealer sales Mario Ojales and Isuzu Mandaue branch head Eufemio Ybanez, the Isuzu team transported relief goods and bottled water from Mandaue City to San Remigio, which had been placed under a state of calamity and issued a Minor Sea Level Disturbance advisory. Isuzu Mobile Medic trucks, typically used to provide on-site vehicle assistance, were repurposed to deliver vital supplies to affected residents.

“At Isuzu, we believe that being a Responsible Partner also means stepping up when communities need us most. We are committed not only to powering businesses but also to empowering lives, especially in times of crisis,” said Mario Ojales.

“It was truly heartwarming to see how the community came together despite the challenges. We’re grateful to be part of an organization that prioritizes compassion and action, and we’re proud to support our fellow Cebuanos,” added Eufemio Ybanez, Isuzu Mandaue Branch Head.

The team was warmly welcomed by Barangay Captain Rey Tamboboy of Poblacion, San Remigio, along with other local officials, who assisted in distributing the goods to grateful survivors. “We are deeply thankful to Isuzu Philippines and Iconic Dealership for their swift response and generosity. Their support brings hope and comfort to our community during this difficult time,” said barangay captain Tamboboy.
