Isuzu PH To Establish Accommodation for Outpatient Children as Part of 'Road to Progress' Vision

MANILA: Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has partnered with Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) to establish the Bahay Alalay Temporary Accommodation Program at the PCMC Compound in Quezon City.

The Bahay Alalay will serve as an accommodation for outpatient children in need of periodic pediatric services as well as their watchers. The three-story facility is designed with a complete reception, cafeteria, playroom, and a sleeping quarters area separate for male and female occupants. IPC has pledged to donate P1 million worth of equipment and furniture once the construction of the Bahay Alalay has been completed.

“Every day, PCMC receives hundreds of children from all over the country and providing a proper shelter for recurring patients and their watchers is a much needed facility in the hospital. Isuzu being the ‘Responsible Partner’ cares about the overall well-being and welfare of these children especially those coming from the provinces not having enough money to find a place here in the city,” IPC President Tetsuya Fujita stated.

During the groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, August 7, Fujita was joined by PCMC Executive Director Dr. Sonia Gonzales, PCMC Deputy Executive Director for Hospital Support Services Dr. Cecilia Gan, and IPC Assistant Vice President for Administration Imelda Bernas.

“We are very thankful to Isuzu Philippines for partnering with us in this project. The support will definitely have a big impact in providing a more decent facility for the parents and watchers of our patients,” Dr. Gonzales said.

IPC’s partnership with PCMC is just one of the CSR initiatives of the company this 2023. IPC is planning to establish more partnerships with different government agencies as well  as non-government organizations as part of its “Road to Progress” direction in contributing to social development and sustainability.
