Ang bag-ong Presidente sa Toyota Motor Philippines Hiro Okamoto wa mogamit sa iyang sakyanan ug mipili nga mokuyog sa ubang mga pasahero sa pagsakay sa jeepney, bus, MRT ug ubang public utility vehicles.

Sigon ni Okamoto sa iyang fb page nga gusto siyang makabatyag sa gisagubang sa mga Pinoy sa natag adlaw nga pagbyahe sa kadalanan sa Metro Manila.

“During my first week in the Philippines, I decided to do “Genchi Genbutsu,” or to “Go and See” the daily struggles of Filipino commuters. I rode a bus, took a round trip of the MRT, rode the jeepney, queued for a long time to ride the UV Express, and lastly, took a tricycle ride to Tondo! For me, it’s a good learning experience. I realize that unlike Japan or Singapore, the Philippines’ current mass transport system is not enough to accommodate the huge number of daily commuters. I would like Toyota to take part in this big challenge to upgrade the quality of life for many Filipinos.”
