A momentous day unfolded on February 8, 2024, at the Marble Terrace, Capitol Grounds, Batangas City, as Hino Batangas and Hino Motors Philippines Corporation proudly handed over 186 Multi-Purpose Rescue Vans (MRVs), known as Magiting Na Sasakyan, to the Provincial Government of Batangas. This significant event marks a major step in strengthening the province's emergency response and public service capabilities.
The distribution of these MRVs is a vital part of the provincial government's HELP project, an initiative championed by the distinguished CALABARZON top governor, Gov. Hermilando "Dodo" Mandanas. HELP stands for Health, Education & Environment, Livelihood, and Protection of Lives, Environment & Property, reflecting the provincial government's commitment to the welfare and development of Batangas. By equipping various barangays with these specialized rescue vehicles, the project ensures that every community has the necessary tools to respond effectively to emergencies and disasters.
Gov. Mandanas has continuously demonstrated his unwavering dedication to enhancing the quality of life for Batangueños. His leadership has paved the way for the advancement of public service, and the deployment of these MRVs is a testament to his vision of a well-prepared and resilient Batangas. These vehicles symbolize not just mobility but also the love of the governor for the local government units (LGUs) and the courage (kagitingan) of every Batangueño who stands ready to serve and protect their communities.
As a leading provider of high-quality and reliable commercial vehicles, Hino Batangas and Hino Motors Philippines Corporation are honored to be part of this initiative. The trust placed in Hino by the Provincial Government of Batangas reinforces the company's commitment to delivering innovative and durable transport solutions for public service.
Hino Batangas is more than just a truck and bus provider—it is a partner in nation-building, always ready to support government efforts that prioritize safety, efficiency, and service to the people. The Magiting Na Sasakyan will play a crucial role in responding to emergencies, conducting relief operations, and enhancing local government response teams' mobility.
This milestone is a proud moment for Hino Batangas, and it strengthens our resolve to continue supporting initiatives that drive progress and uplift communities. We believe that with these 186 Multi-Purpose Rescue Vans now deployed across Batangas province, we are one step closer to ensuring a safer, more resilient future for every Batangueño.
Together, we stand ready to serve and protect. Hino Batangas—Driven to Serve.
