BYD, through the combined efforts of BYD Cars Philippines (a subsidiary of ACMobility), BYD Philippines, and BYD Cebu responded to earthquake-stricken communities in Bogo City, San Remigio, Catmon, Daanbantayan, Medellin, Tabogon, and Tabuelan. At the same time, Ayala Foundation, Inc. (AFI) reinforced these efforts by bringing its #BrigadangAyala assistance to the same areas, further embodying the spirit of malasakit for affected families in Cebu.
Joining forces with the BYD Cebu Owners Group, the team a convoy of 24 BYD vehicles—including the Sealion 6 DM-i, Sealion 5 DM-i, Shark 6 DMO, and Atto 3—to deliver critical relief goods such as bottled water, food, tents, blankets, medicines, and toiletries to affected communities. In support of these efforts, BYD Cars Philippines and BYD Philippines extended monetary assistance to help sustain the relief mission and its volunteers on ground. Utilizing the brand’s innovative Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, the units also provided much-needed electricity on-site, enabling affected residents to charge their cellphones and gadgets and reconnect with their loved ones during this difficult time.
“We extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the families impacted by this calamity,” said Bob Palanca, Managing Director of BYD Cars Philippines. We are steadfast in our commitment to go the extra mile in supporting our communities during these challenging times,” he added.
“This joint effort reflects our belief that mobility is not just about moving people, but also about empowering communities in times of need,” said Adam Hu, Country Head of BYD Philippines. “By combining resources with innovation, we aim to provide meaningful support to Filipinos.”
Its ironic that in Japan, local governments has a standing agreement with BYD Japan for assistance using their vehicles' V2L capabilities in case of emergencies.
