Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the leading manufacturer and distributor of motorcycle vehicles in the Philippines, through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, under the banner Honda Love You, relaunched its Honda Room program in March 2025. HPI organized a series of events across Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao in partnership with reputable Technical Schools offering Motorcycle/ Small Engine Servicing (MSES) vocational courses to underprivileged youth. Key factors for consideration include locations with high demand for motorcycle service technicians and a growing customer base.
The Honda Room is a technical learning laboratory for motorcycle and small engine servicing. It provides quality education, produces skilled mechanics, offers job opportunities for youth, and ensures a steady supply of technical manpower for Honda dealerships. High quality, safety, and customer satisfaction levels are maintained according to Honda Standards. Through this CSR program, approximately 25 learners per term are given hope and a chance for a brighter future, benefiting their families as well.
Nueva Ecija, 18th March 2025. The series of Honda Room relaunch events kicked off in Luzon, Don Bosco Training Center—San Jose, Inc., a vocational training center for the poorest youth aged 17-24, primarily children of farmers in the province who cannot pursue higher education.
Ilo-ilo, 26th March 2025. The second Honda Room relaunch activity was in the Visayas, Don Bosco Boy’s Home, and Vocational Training Center located in Dumangas. The center provides a safe home and quality education to youth at risk.
