MABALACAT, Pampanga – Yokohama Tire Philippines, Inc. (YTPI) distributed hygiene kits to 500 students of Mauaque Resettlement High School (MRHS) on August 30, 2024 to encourage proper hygiene practices.
YTPI executives, including Masatsugu Nishimon, Executive Vice President for Administration Division; Geraldine Bautista, Corporate Planning and Business Operations Manager; and Eden Mago, Public Relations and General Services Manager, attended the donation event. Also present were Dr. Babylin D. Manuel, School Principal, and faculty members.
Nishimon emphasized the significance of the initiative, stating, “Many children in our community lack essential hygiene products like soap, toothpaste, and clean towels. I am proud to support this effort to enhance their health and emphasize the importance of hygiene.”
The event featured a Proper Hygiene Orientation conducted by YTPI Medical Services Unit staff member Jeffrey Lipatan, who provided students with self-care guidance. Each hygiene kit included a toothbrush, toothpaste, alcohol spray, face towel, bar soap, and Potassium Alum (Tawas) powder, along with a usage guide. The recipients were students from grades 7-10 and those in the Transition category.
In closing, Bautista remarked, “Maintaining cleanliness helps protect us from illnesses. We hope these hygiene kits inspire you to be more diligent and enthusiastic on your studies.”
This initiative, led by the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Team, underscores YTPI’s commitment to addressing students’ needs, promoting good hygiene, and supporting their health and well-being both in school and at home.
