Honda Foundation provides aid to Typhoon Tino-affected Cebuanos

MANILA: Honda Foundation Incorporated (HFI), the charitable arm of Honda Philippines Incorporated (HPI), has mobilized to provide aid to the residents of Cebu who have been negatively affected by Typhoon Tino. 

Per HFI, a total of 11 municipalities in Cebu have had their water supply interrupted due to strong rains and heavy winds. And even after a week, none of the area’s water supply has been restored.  

As a response to this, HFI, together with its associates from the Cebu branch of HPI, donated 20,160 1.5-liter bottles of drinking water to 1,680 families in Barangay Cotcot, Liloan, Cebu. Residents of the barangay, together with their Captain, Hon. Martin Yungco, directly received the aid from HFI. 

“We at Honda are so saddened to hear that our fellow Filipinos in Cebu have been hit with another tragic calamity,” President of HFI and Honda Cars Philippines Incorporated (HCPI) Rie Miyake said. 

“We would like to reach out and offer our sympathies to all affected and sincerely hope that they are finally able to recover soon,” Miyake added.

Back in October 2025, HFI, also with HPI associates, provided aid to residents of Cebu who were displaced by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake - the strongest of its kind ever recorded in the northern part of the said region. 

The charitable organization gave relief packs to some 500 households in Barangay Binabag, Bogo City. The said packs contained essential food items, which have been instrumental in helping the community get back on its feet. 

Earlier in the year, HFI fielded a large-scale tree planting initiative that covers 28 hectares of the Sierra Madre Mountain range, specifically in its southern stretch in Laguna. This was done in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Natural Greening Program.

On a more global scale, Honda is currently beta testing a smartphone application that will greatly elevate the quality of life for the blind and visually impaired. The said app, known as Honda Scenic Audio, uses artificial intelligence (AI) and audio.
