EastWest turns over Mitsubishi Mirage G4 as part of ‘EasyMobility for Community Program’

MANILA: East West Banking Corporation has turned over a Mitsubishi Mirage G4 to non-profit partners in Visayas and Mindanao as part of its EasyMobility for Community Program. 

Per the financial firm, the initiative aims to strengthen education and community outreach by improving mobility for institutions that deliver essential services. 

“At EastWest, we believe in enabling our partners to do more and reach further,” EastWest Chief Executive Officer Jerry Ngo was quoted as saying. 

“Through the EasyMobility for Community Program, we aim to support institutions like Don Bosco and CITE in bringing education, skills training, and essential services closer to the communities they serve. These partnerships reflect our commitment to creating lasting, meaningful impact,” he added.

Subcompact service sedans 

According to EastWest, non-profit institutions across Cebu, Negros Occidental, and Davao City will receive 2024 and 2025 model year sub-compact sedans. Although the company did not specify the make and model of the cars, the photos included in the press release show a Mitsubishi Mirage G4. 

The bank noted that the vehicles are expected to support logistics, field operations, and outreach activities, enabling partner institutions to expand their reach and serve more communities, which are: 

• CITE (Center for Industrial Technology and Enterprise) Technical Institute, Incorporated 
• St. John Bosco Parish (Liloan, Cebu) 
• Don Bosco Training Center (Liloan, Cebu) 
• Don Bosco Provincial House (Cebu City) 
• Don Bosco Spirituality Center (Davao City) 
• St. John Bosco Parish (Murcia, Negros Occidental) 
• Mary Our Help Technical Institute for Women-Cebu, Inc. (Minglanilla, Cebu) 
• Don Bosco Retreat House (Talisay City, Cebu) 

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 appears to be suited for such applications, as it easily combines maneuverability and fuel efficiency — two factors that are important for people and organizations involved in field work. 

It measures 4,305 millimeters (mm) long, 1,670 mm wide, and 1,515 mm tall; with a wheelbase of 2,550 mm and a ground clearance of 170 mm. 

Power comes from a 1.2-liter gasoline engine paired with either a five-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission, to make approximately 76 horses and 100 Newton-meters. 

Facilitating halts and deceleration are ventilated disc brakes at the front and leading, trailing-type drum brakes at the rear. Suspension-wise, it gets McPherson struts (with coil springs and stabilizers) at the fore and a torsion beam arrangement at the back. 

The Mitsubishi Mirage G4 is built in the Philippines. 

“These organizations play critical roles in advancing education and community development. Don Bosco’s institutions and partners support youth formation, values education, and technical training, while CITE provides industry-aligned technical education that prepares students for employment and sustainable livelihoods,” EastWest wrote. 

“The EasyMobility for Community Program reflects EastWest’s commitment to putting its resources to meaningful use — supporting organizations that depend on reliable mobility to carry out education, training, and community service initiatives,” it added.
