Cristina Aldeguer-Roque, Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Juanito Victor Remulla, Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs Frederick Go, TMP Executive Vice President for Manufacturing Yasuhiro Kutsuki, Department of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
President Marcos expressed his appreciation for Toyota’s continued investment in the Philippines, particularly the recent PHP 5.5 billion-investment in the production of the Philippine-made Next Generation Tamaraw, also known regionally as the Toyota Innovative International Multi-Purpose Vehicle 0 .
At the same event, President Marcos received a letter of intent from TMP for its planned donation of five Tamaraw units, which will be converted and turned over to the government in 2025. These include five ambulances which will be used to support various mobility needs through the “Lab For All” health program of the First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos.
Underscoring its multi-pathway approach to decarbonization, TMP also used the occasion to present the Corolla Cross H2 Concept developed by Toyota GAZOO Racing in Japan. This Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle utilized hydrogen gas supplied by a local producer and filled through a Hydrogen Refueling Station exclusively imported from an end-use application provider in Malaysia.
