Suzuki Philippines extends help to calamity affected communities, car owners

In the face of the severe flooding that struck Luzon due to the successive impact of Typhoon Dante and Typhoon Emong, many low-lying areas particularly in Laguna were left submerged and isolated.

Among the affected communities were neighborhoods near Suzuki Philippines’ head office, where residents endured days of heavy rainfall, rising floodwaters, and restricted access to basic needs and emergency support.

Moved by the urgency of the situation, Suzuki Philippines, through its Marine Department, immediately responded by extending assistance to the most heavily impacted areas. Working in close coordination with local government units and rescue teams, the company deployed specialized watercraft to aid in mobility and relief efforts.

An inflatable boat with a 6HP Suzuki outboard motor was provided to Biñan, while a poly boat equipped with a 15HP motor was deployed to Sta. Rosa. These boats played a crucial role in reaching areas where traditional vehicles or even manual boats struggled to operate due to the depth of flooding and narrow passages.

In partnership with local responders, Suzuki’s marine equipment was used to deliver relief packages to families stranded in their homes particularly in communities like Sikatville, where floodwaters rose to chest-deep levels.

With safety and speed, the boats transported food and essentials directly to households that remained inaccessible by land. The effort was not only about delivering aid, but also about restoring a sense of connection and reassurance to families who felt cut off from help. Community leaders and rescue volunteers expressed their gratitude for the reliable equipment that significantly expanded their reach during this critical time.

The assistance did not end on water. Recognizing that many private vehicles had also suffered severe water damage during the floods, Suzuki Philippines launched a Flood Support Program aimed at helping owners of Suzuki vehicles recover more easily. In line with the company’s commitment to safety and public welfare, this initiative offers a 30% discount on select control modules specifically the Engine Control Module (ECM), ABS Control Module, Body Control Module (BCM), and SRS Control Unit that are typically affected by flood damage.

The program applies to non-insured Suzuki vehicles, giving affected customers a practical option for safe restoration and continued mobility.

In times of natural calamities, Suzuki Philippines stands by its belief that mobility is more than just movement, it is a means to care, to connect, and to uplift. Whether by land or by water, the company remains committed to delivering support and service where it matters most, and when it is needed most.
