Now they have also proven themselves as a company with a heart.
Fulfilling their Corporate Social Responsibility, Yamaha Inc. Philippines reached out to one of their motorcycle clubs to create an outreach program that will cater to the needs of schoolchildren providing them with school supplies for their educational needs.
One club decided to help out and become the bridge for Yamaha Philippines, Vega Force Riders Pack of Cebu headed by Ralph Go, the clubs' President , Ginova Magallanes, Larrie Badilla, Harry Celeste, the senior members of the group and the rest of the members, went out of their way to lend a helping hand.
Early morning of the 21st of November, 2014 , the VFRP members set out early towards their destination, Pangdan Elementary School , Naga Cebu, carrying more than 200 supplies of bags, notebooks, pencils and crayons provided by Yamaha. Riding their Vega Force Motorcycles, it took them almost an hour to reach their destination but seeing the anticipation and the excitement from the children's faces made them forget the weariness of the journey leading them to start the gift giving right away.
One by one, they handed out the supplies to more than 200 children and tumblers to some of the faculty members. It took them the whole morning to complete the event and seeing all the kids in Pangdan Elementary School complete with their new school supplies became a whole new rewarding experience for the Vega Force Riders Pack Member that they will never forget.
" Seeing the kids smile after giving them our simple gifts made the journey here all worth wile" Harry Celeste one of the senior members of the group says.
Being their first community outreach program, they couldn't help but be thankful for the success of the event. , from the members who took their time to volunteer and to Yamaha who provided the school supplies and made all of this possible.
This only proves that Motorcycle Clubs like the Vega Force Riders Pack of Cebu are not just thinking all for fun, but they are also making sure that they can give back to the community in any way they can. Thanks Yamaha!
