THE merry season is here. Taking the lead in spreading joy to our less fortunate brethren is Chevrolet Philippines of the Covenant Car Company, Inc.
Dubbed “Chevy Cheers,” the collaboration between Chevrolet Philippines and the McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen (MKK), aims to serve 10,000 meals to marginalized communities in selected areas in the Philippines.
“We at Chevrolet Philippines, through ‘Chevy Cheers,’ are truly honored to be collaborating with MKK and Pilipinas Kontra Gutom this holiday season, and are grateful for the opportunity to give back and spread holiday cheer in the form of hearty meals that can be enjoyed by the entire family,” said Alberto B. Arcilla, the dapper lawyer-president and CEO of Chevrolet Philippines.
“Chevy Cheers” will run from December 6 to 10, 2021, with NCR’s Baseco, Baclaran, Smokey Mountain, Quiapo, Tayuman, Tatalon, Payatas, Bagong Silan, Camarin, Caloocan, and Navotas as beneficiaries. Selected sites outside of NCR include specific areas in Pampanga, Iloilo, Cebu, and Davao.
Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, Chevrolet is now one of the world’s largest car brands. Available in 79 countries, it has sold more than 3.2 million cars and trucks in 2020 alone.
Toyota award again
TOYOTA once again proved why it is the nation’s No. 1 carmaker, when it recently won a prestigious government award for excellence in a feat never achieved before by any car company.
It won the Philippine Quality Award (PQA) for performance excellence by the national government through the Department of Trade and Industry.
Toyota attained the PQA Level 4, the highest level of national recognition for exemplary organizational performance in Total Quality Management.
“I am with you in honoring public and private sector organizations that have embodied excellence in their pursuits,” President Duterte said after conferring the award to Toyota. “Continue your work that brings benefits to our people.”
In victory, Toyota became the first automotive company in the Philippines to become a PQA recipient, and the second Philippine organization in PQA’s 22-year history to achieve a Level 4 grade.
Said TMP chairman Alfred V. Ty: “TMP is honored to receive such high distinction in the PQA history, as well as to share TMP’s best practices that can serve as benchmark for other Philippine industries.”
The country’s largest carmaker is responsible for the development of domestic automotive manufacturing industry, currently producing the best-selling Vios and Innova models.
For his part, TMP president Atsuhiro Okamoto said, “The PQA award further inspires us to continue to improve and ultimately help our business become more sustainable, especially with new ventures that we are taking on.”
Established in August 1988, TMP is the largest automotive manufacturing company in the country with a work force of over 3,500. It has the widest vehicle line-up and most extensive distribution network with over 70 dealers nationwide.

I have yet to see a motorman after Joseph whose attention to detail, a chassis bolt or a change of plan in a road trip, is beyond reproach. Enjoy your new life. You will be missed, Joseph…They say the return of the numbers coding on Dec. 1 will help ease traffic in the metropolis. Are you kidding me?
