Celebrating three decades of operations in the Philippines, Atsushi Funayama, President & CEO of Yokohama Tire Philippines, Inc. (YTPL) expressed profound gratitude to its partners, specifically highlighting the indispensable role of the Pampanga media.
He noted that the manufacturer’s journey from a tire factory to a pillar of corporate social responsibility could not have been achieved without the support of the press.
Outlets such as iOrbit News Online were recognized for their consistent coverage and honest storytelling, which have been instrumental in bridging the gap between the company’s industrial achievements and the public’s perspective.
Beyond the production lines, the president emphasized that YTPL’s legacy is defined by its social impact, including the creation of thousands of jobs for Filipino workers and the strengthening of the local rubber industry through strategic partnerships with suppliers.
