Early in November 2025, the Philippines was struck by Typhoon Tino. The area of Cebu was greatly affected, along with the 11 municipalities, their water supply interrupted because of the strong rains and heavy winds. A week after the calamity, there was still no clean water available. That was when Honda Foundation Inc (HFI) decided to donate boxes of bottled water to the local community.
On Nov. 21, associates from the Cebu office of Honda Philippines Inc (HPI) representing HFI visited affected families in Barangay Cotcot, Liloan, Cebu where 35 individuals unfortunately passed away and entire communities were submerged in floods. To aid their recovery and help provide the restoration of basic necessities, HFI donated a total of 20,160 1.5-liter bottles of drinking water to 1,680 families. Local residents and officials, headed by Barangay Captain Martin Yungco, directly received the packages from HFI.
HFI and Honda Cars Philippines Inc (HCPI) president Rie Miyake says, “We at Honda are so saddened to hear that our fellow Filipinos in Cebu have been hit with another tragic calamity. We would like to reach out and offer our sympathies to all affected and sincerely hope that they are finally able to recover soon.”
Members of HFI include HPI, HCPI, Honda Parts Manufacturing, Corp. (HPMC), and Honda Trading Philippines Ecozone Corp (HTPE).
