Volunteers from the local government units (LGUs), CENRO Tanauan, and Honda Philippines, Inc. associates participate in the tree-planting activity along Bagbag River in Barangay Bagbag, Tanauan City, Batangas.
Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) has planted 400 Kamagong seedlings in Batangas and Laguna through a two-leg environmental initiative supporting reforestation, ecosystem restoration, and community development.
The project was conducted in partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources–Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (DENR-CENRO) and the city governments of Tanauan and Biñan.
The first leg took place on September 18 along Bagbag River in Tanauan City, Batangas, focusing on riverbank rehabilitation, riparian vegetation recovery, and erosion control. The second leg was held on October 10 at The Meadows in Biñan, Laguna, emphasizing urban greening and flood prevention, with 50 community volunteers participating.
“Honda believes that environmental responsibility strongly calls for collective efforts,” said Riza Quito, Operating Head of Corporate Affairs and IT Operations at HPI, highlighting the importance of partnerships in building more resilient communities.
The initiative supports three United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
While the project centers on environmental conservation rather than new technology, Honda’s broader digital services include the MyHonda+ Philippines mobile app, which provides a more convenient motorcycle ownership experience.
HPI said it plans to conduct more community-based environmental activities to help protect natural resources and promote sustainability.
