Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) Foundation launched on Dec. 15 its new Mobi-Care (“Mobility with Care”) program with the turnover of 4 brand-new Toyota vehicles to the city governments of Santa Rosa and Batangas. These duly configured service vehicles are aimed at aiding the local governments in delivering public health services through enhanced mobility.
TMP Foundation’s Mobi-Care program integrates mobility-related solutions—both automotive and non-automotive—into community welfare to either bring essential needs and services closer to the people or mobilize people closer to their basic needs.
As a pilot initiative under this program and in line with its health pillar, TMP Foundation donated Toyota vehicles to Santa Rosa and Batangas cities to reinforce the local governments’ delivery of healthcare services.
The Santa Rosa City Health Offices (CHOs) I and II received one Toyota Tamaraw Utility Van each as a health service vehicle, while the Santa Rosa Community Hospital (SRCH) received one Type 1 Toyota Tamaraw Ambulance.
“This donation exemplifies Toyota’s continuing commitment to support the City of Santa Rosa in its efforts to further enhance healthcare services for its constituents,” said TMP Foundation president Jose Maria Aligada during the vehicle turnover with the Santa Rosa city government.
TMP Foundation signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Santa Rosa City government to formalize the vehicle donation and its purposes.
Earlier this month, TMP Foundation donated a brand-new Toyota Hiace unit to the Batangas City government, which will serve as a health service vehicle of the Batangas City Health Office.
Enhancing healthcare
The Santa Rosa CHOs cater to 9 barangays each and serve around 400,000 residents combined. The Batangas CHO serves more than 350,000 residents from the 105 barangays in Batangas City.
With the mandate for healthcare workers to provide on-site health services in communities and when new health programs are introduced, efficient transportation for the healthcare workers is crucial to implement and raise awareness of these initiatives.
Through TMP Foundation’s donation, the service vehicles will support the CHOs’ public health activities, including patient transport, delivery and distribution of medicines and medical supplies, deployment of health workers to communities, medical missions, and vaccination drives, among others.
The SRCH is a Level I hospital with approximately 5,000 to 6,000 patient admissions annually. A growing volume of these patients is transported to the facility for basic care or to a higher-level hospital for advanced treatment when needed. The retrofitted Tamaraw Ambulance will help provide timely and uninterrupted support to these mobility needs.
The Mobi-Care is another program that demonstrates the synergy between TMP Foundation’s Mobility+ and Health advocacy pillars after the launch of the HEAL Project, which is also designed to address gaps in the health sector as announced in July 2025.
The Ty-led TMP Foundation has been serving as the social and humanitarian arm of Toyota Motor Philippines Corp for over 35 years. It implements corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives divided into 5 key areas of health, education, environment, community service, and mobility.
