TOYOTA, ever the pioneer, is doing it again: Making it easy and comfortable for Filipino vacationers coming home this Christmas on matters of mobility issues.
This early, the world’s No. 1 carmaker has a pleasant surprise for everyone bound for home for the holidays. It will be a sure big treat for balikbayans, and the brilliant idea can only come from someone as creative and as innovative like Cristina ‘Tini’ Arevalo.
Indeed, Tina, the hard-nosed, hard-working president of Toyota Mobility Solutions PH, has nailed a homerun worth bandying about. Savor her piece:
‘FOR millions of Filipinos working overseas, who are our so-called modern-day heroes, Christmas isn’t just a date on the calendar-it’s a homecoming filled with stories, laughter and long-awaited hugs. After months of sacrifice, you deserve to savor every moment of being home.
‘That’s where Toyota Rentacar comes in – easing the journey from the airport to your hometown with comfort, reliability and care.
‘Imagine stepping out of the terminal and straight into a Toyota that’s ready to take you home. No stressful bookings, no long waits-just the smooth drive you’ve earned after spending so much time away from home.
‘Each vehicle is fully insured, meticulously maintained and backed by Toyota’s trusted promise of safety.
‘Whether you’re cruising through city streets or heading to the province for a reunion, you can count on Toyota Rentacar to get you there with ease.
‘Flexible rental terms-daily, weekly or monthly-make it simple to tailor your drive to your destination.
‘Choose from compact sedans for quick errands or spacious vans for family trips, and travel together in comfort.
‘Because when you finally come home, every minute matters. Spend it sharing stories, enjoying meals and rediscovering the places that shaped you-not waiting for rides or dealing with travel stress.
‘Booking your Toyota is easy:
1 Visit www.toyotarentacar.com.ph.
2 Select your preferred vehicle and schedule.
3 Confirm-and drive home with peace of mind.
‘This Christmas, Toyota Rentacar celebrates every Filipino coming home. Because, after all the years of hard work, you deserve to come home the Toyota way-safe, relaxed and truly cared for.’
Indeed, there is no other way but Toyota.
From Ciana May P. Calsena:
‘Hariphil Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI), the official distributor of Volvo cars in the Philippines, recently gathered a new generation of leaders and trailblazing Filipinas for the second installment of its ‘Voice of Volvo’ thought leadership series, titled ‘Grace Beyond the Wheel.’
‘Held at the Maria Fe Perez-Agudo Center for Leadership Excellence in St. Scholastica’s College, Manila, the event inspired student leaders on why personal and road safety are the essential foundation for empowerment and success.
‘The forum featured an all-female panel of distinguished leaders, and moderated by esteemed broadcast journalist Rico Hizon.
‘The panel included Maria Fe Perez-Agudo, Vice Chair, President, and CEO of HARI; Pinky Pe Tobiano, a renowned chemist, philanthropist, and CEO; Jacque Manabat, a pioneering multimedia creator, and a road safety advocate; and, Angela Lagunzad-Castro, a noted broadcast personality and an advocate for women’s wellness.
‘The discussion focused on how advancements in mobility and safety can empower women in leadership.
‘The panelists shared moving insights from their respective fields, weaving a compelling narrative that underscored a central theme: a secure environment is not a luxury but a prerequisite for everyone to innovate, lead, and realize their full potential.
‘The ‘Voice of Volvo’ is our platform to champion conversations that matter. With ‘Grace Beyond the Wheel,’ we explored the profound truth that safety is at the core of progress,’ said Perez-Agudo,
‘Also discussed was Volvo Cars Philippines’ Exclusive Ownership Privilege, a platform designed to support the acquisition of the All-New XC60 Plug-in Hybrid.’
All the best.
PEE STOP Congrats to Jade Sison-Mendoza, assistant vice president of Lexus Philippines, for expertly shepherding last weekend’s customers’ special encounter with the Lexus lineup of hybrids at the Solenad 3 Activity Park in Ayala Malls, Makati. The Takumi craftsmanship was highlighted once more as the lasting core of the nation’s best-selling luxury brand. Cheers!
