Suzuki Philippines lends support to flood-stricken neighborhoods and car owners

The recent barrage of typhoons that hit the country in late July left many communities submerged and needing aid. Entire neighborhoods were flooded, roads were cut off, and basic supplies became hard to reach. Some of the hardest-hit areas were close to Suzuki Philippines' head office, where people faced days of nonstop rain and rising water.

Seeing how serious the situation was, Suzuki’s Marine Department stepped in to help. They teamed up with local officials and rescue groups to get boats into the most flooded areas. Biñan received an inflatable boat powered by a six-hp Suzuki motor, while Sta. Rosa got a poly boat with a 15 hp motor. These boats made a big difference in getting through tight, waterlogged streets where regular wheeled vehicles couldn’t go.

The boats weren’t just for getting around; they were used to bring food and supplies to families stuck in their homes, especially in places like Sikatville, where the water reached chest level, and heading out not only proved difficult but dangerous. Volunteers and local leaders said the equipment helped them reach more people faster and more safely, offering a lifeline to communities that felt completely cut off.

On top of the on-the-ground efforts, Suzuki also launched a Flood Support Program for car owners dealing with flood-damaged vehicles. Since water can ruin important parts like the Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS Control Module, Body Control Module (BCM), and SRS Control Unit, Suzuki is offering a 30 percent discount on select electronic parts. This applies to non-insured Suzuki vehicles and is aimed at helping people get their cars back on the road without spending a fortune.

During tough times like natural disasters, Suzuki Philippines believes mobility isn’t just about getting from one place to another; it’s about helping people, staying connected, and lending a hand when it counts. Whether on land or water, the company is committed to showing up and supporting communities when they need it most.
