Isuzu PH donates fresh equipment to JZGMSAT

MANILA: Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has donated industry-standard equipment to Jacobo Z. Gonzales Memorial School for Arts and Trade (JZGMSAT). 

Per the local wing of the Japanese automotive brand, the said top-of-the-line equipment includes a new tire changer, wheel balancer, and tools drawer, which completes the facility’s setup.

“This collaboration aligns with our commitment to corporate social responsibility and our vision of fostering technical education and skills development in the automotive sector. It's fulfilling to see the positive impact our contributions have made, and we are motivated to continue supporting educational initiatives that align with our values,” said IPC President Tetsuya Fujita.

IPC has been a dedicated partner to JZGMSAT since 2017, donating equipment such as computers, mock engines, and automotive lifters. 

In addition, the company has also facilitated specialized training in diesel technology, sharing with the students Isuzu’s expertise with invaluable hands-on experience using advanced automotive equipment. 

These contributions — IPC pointed out —  have significantly enhanced the school’s educational offerings, giving its students a competitive edge in the automotive industry.

Meanwhile, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) stressed the importance of partnering with companies sharing the same values. 

“Our success is deeply intertwined with the support and collaboration of our industry partners. Companies like Isuzu Philippines, who understand the value of investing in human capital are crucial in bridging the gap between education and industry needs,” TESDA Regional Director Archie Grande said. 

Looking ahead, IPC noted that it plans to expand its partnerships with more educational institutions across the country. 

IPC believes that by investing in education and skill development, the company can create lasting positive impacts on society and contribute to the overall progress of the automotive industry in the Philippines.

“Our CSR initiatives are designed to align with our business objectives while addressing the needs of the community, and we are committed to continuing this path. Our focus will always be on empowering the next generation of automotive professionals and contributing to the growth of the industry in the Philippines,” the IPC boss stated.
