This Father’s Day, Nissan Philippines pays tribute to the strength, sacrifices, and enduring love of Filipino fathers with a moving story that puts family and gratitude in the spotlight.
Leo Miscala has been working on the roads since 2003, spending many years of his life as a driver to support his family. Following his wife Victoria, who moved to Metro Manila in search of better opportunities, Leo joined her to take on a job in an unfamiliar environment. He started out driving pedicabs and tricycles, later becoming a taxi driver who had to navigate unfamiliar streets, doing whatever it took to provide for his growing family.
Driving a Nissan Sentra as his taxi, he experienced the vehicle’s comfort and durability, leaving a lasting impression and inspiring him to dream of one day achieving his own Nissan. Although he never mentioned it to his family, they knew that it was his goal to drive his own car.
Recognizing all the hard work and selfless dedication their father had given to them, it was his family’s turn to give back and make one of his biggest wishes come true. On their father’s birthday, Hector, Levi, and Michelle showed their appreciation with the surprise of a brand new Nissan Terra.
Strong, capable, and built to take on any challenge, the Nissan Terra mirrors Leo’s spirit as someone who never backed down from hard work, always putting his family first. After years of driving for others, the Terra marks a new chapter for the Miscalas as a powerful companion and a symbol of how far they have come as a family.
“This Father’s Day, we are proud to share the inspiring story of the Miscala family, recognizing the hard work and sacrifices of fathers like Leo.” says Nissan Philippines. “We are honored that the Nissan Terra plays such a special part in their journey as a family.”
Leo’s story is featured in a short video released by Nissan Philippines, showcasing how family, love, and a shared sense of gratitude can create unforgettable moments.
