Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp (MMPC) participated in the recent Silakbo (Sikad-Lakad-Takbo) Fun Run 2025 held at South Evozone, Nuvali in Santa Rosa City, Laguna. The annual event, organized by Save Silang-Santa Rosa River Foundation Inc (S3R2) in collaboration with the City Government of Santa Rosa, is dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability and awareness.
The objective of the Silakbo Fun Run is to raise funds for the protection and rehabilitation of the Silang-Santa Rosa River, which is the main water source for Santa Rosa, Binan and Cabuyao in Laguna and Silang in Cavite. Part of the funds generated from the run will be used in a tree-planting activity to be held in June during Arbor Day celebration.
P100,000 donation
As a board member of S3R2 and one of Silakbo Fun Run’s major sponsors, donating P100,000 for the event, MMPC continues to demonstrate its strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Apart from MMPC, the annual Silakbo Fun Run is participated in by other companies, organizations and fitness enthusiasts aiming to raise awareness and support for the preservation of the Silang-Santa Rosa River. Thousands of participants took part in different race categories while promoting health and wellness, and environmental advocacy.
