The handover ceremony took place on January 25 at the DSWD-NCR Sanctuary Center, with representatives from HMPH, including President Mr. Dongwook Lee, Managing Director Mr. Cecil Capacete, and Chief Finance Officer Mr. Hongshik Chin. The H-100 trucks were received by DSWD-NCR's Assistant Regional Directors, Ms. Miriam Navarro and Mr. Benchie Gonzales.

Hyundai Motor Philippines, which started in June 2022, sells Hyundai cars in the Philippines, and their goal is to offer cars that are good for the environment and people. In addition, the company wants to be a long-term partner for its customers, promoting a sustainable future, which it is currently pushing for considering its recent donation.

Mr. Lee from Hyundai mentioned that since 2019, when the company started focusing on its goal, they have been looking for ways to help people and communities. He expressed happiness about being able to support DSWD's work. The H100 trucks are intended to help DSWD in its mission to assist more people.

"When Hyundai Motor Company shifted into a mobility solutions provider in 2019, it meant enlarging our roles as an automotive manufacturer. Since then, we have been pursuing innovative ways in which we can provide freedom of movement for the benefit of both people and the community at large."

Mr. Dongwook Lee
President of Hyundai Motor Philippines

The H100 is a small truck from Hyundai, which has a 2.5-liter diesel engine and a six-speed manual transmission, made to perform well in hard conditions while keeping the driver and passengers comfortable. The truck is available in different styles to fit various needs and comes with a five-year or 200,000-km warranty.

Hyundai giving these trucks to DSWD in Manila is truly a big help for disaster response and community work, showing the company's plans to carry out its vision of helping out in the Philippines and supporting important causes.
