MMPC President and CEO Ritsu Imaeda emphasized the importance of giving emergency responders reliable equipment. He said, “The Bureau of Fire Protection plays a vital role in safeguarding lives and communities. Through the donation of the L300, we aim to support the BFP’s operational requirements and help ensure that our firefighters are equipped with a reliable vehicle capable of performing under demanding conditions.” Imaeda also noted the pride in seeing locally produced vehicles make a real difference in public service, adding, “As a local manufacturer, we take pride in seeing vehicles produced in the Philippines contribute directly to public service.”
