Building a Safe Community: Honda Empowers Young Filipinos to Practice Responsible Road Use

Honda Foundation, Inc. (HFI), in collaboration with the Department of Education - Schools Division Office (DepEd-SDO) of Santa Rosa City, partner schools and the city local government, recently conducted the Students on Safety (SOS) Program with the aim of bringing road safety education closer to young Filipino students through interactive learning sessions.

The road safety program was held across 11 beneficiary public schools in Santa Rosa City, Laguna, equipping more than 380 students aged 16 and above, including some faculty members with essential knowledge and the right mindset to become responsible road users.

Students gained valuable road safety awareness and learned about safe mobility habits at an early age, through learning sessions conducted by Honda Safety Driving Center (HSDC) certified instructors. The initiative also featured engaging activities and practical training that made road safety education a fun and enjoyable learning experience for the students.

The SOS Program reinforces HFI’s commitment to building a culture of road safety across generations and communities. It is part of Honda’s broader road safety efforts to help reduce road crash fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles. These efforts support Honda’s global goal of achieving zero traffic collision fatalities by 2050.

HFI encourages students to carry the importance of road safety on their everyday journeys and to make safe and responsible choices on the road. Through these actions, they can help foster a stronger culture of road safety and contribute to safer communities for generations to come.

HFI, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of the Honda Group of Companies in the Philippines, is composed of Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda Trading Philippines Ecozone Corporation (HTPE), and Honda Logistics Philippine, Inc. (HLPI). To learn more about HFI, contact (02)-8581-6700 to 6799 and 0917-578-8723.

Honda Philippines Celebrates HSDC’s 10th Anniversary and Thanksgiving Day

Honda Safety Driving Center (HSDC), the first motorcycle riding school in the country that provides comprehensive training for both         2-Wheel and 4-Wheel vehicles and even truck certification, celebrates its 10th anniversary and thanksgiving day along with the Honda group of companies namely Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI,) Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI,) and Honda Manufacturing Parts Corporation (HPMC.)

HSDC offers programs in road safety training which aims to help safeguard the well-being of motorcycle riders and automobile drivers.

The institution also conducts training courses for Beginners and Refreshers, as well as Seminars that provide the rules of the road and demonstrate proper and legal safety maneuvers for motorcycle riding. These programs are ideal for those who want to learn safety techniques, relearn driving, and awareness as a Safe Road User.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, HSDC updates the public about the projects they have done so far after the launch of the One Honda Road Safety (1HRS) for our Family Campaign, a joint advocacy of the Honda group of companies. This was awarded as one of the best road safety programs by the Society of Philippine Motoring Journalists. This is HSDC’s milestone and long-term commitment to building a community of safe and responsible road users.

HSDC also launches its newest services, such as the Basic Group Riding Course, the Big Bike Safety Riding Course, the Executive Driving Course, and Kids on Safety Program.

The celebration also coincides with the thanksgiving and awarding of the Certificate of Appreciation to all of its road safety program partners. Since it is important to HSDC that its riders make it home safely, it awards its partners to recognize their efforts in helping make this goal into a reality.

HSDC sets to strengthen its programs on road safety, accident prevention, and risk reduction through its new training innovations and Dealer Road Safety Program, which features training courses and audiovisuals to provide customers with road safety tips. These tips also aim to eliminate bad habits on the road, which alarmingly cause accidents that kill over 10,300 Filipinos a year according to the World Health Organization. This is why it is important for HSDC to provide these courses to promote intelligent, safe and responsible motorcycle riding.

This is aligned with Honda’s commitment not only to provide quality products and services with technological expertise, but also safe riding practices for every Filipino family to further experience the joy of riding Honda motorcycles and driving Honda cars.
