May, MPT South expanded its award-winning ‘Drayberks’
road safety caravan into ‘Drayberks B.I.S.A (Buhay Ingatan, Sasakya’y Alagaan)’—a vehicle maintenance and
troubleshooting seminar conducted in collaboration with
Cavite State University (CvSU).
This initiative,
hosted in public spaces
like malls and transport
terminals, imparted valuable knowledge to over
300 PUV drivers, traffic
enforcers, and members
of transport groups, promoting a culture of safety
and responsible vehicle
care.
Simultaneously, the regular ‘Drayberks’ caravan continued
throughout the year in different locations, attracting
a total of 377 participants
from Nuvali, the Philippine Navy, and the Traffic
Management Department
and Fleet Personnel of the
Cavite Provincial Office.
‘Bayani Ka’ Caravan
Recognizing that
road safety education
should not be limited to
adults, MPT South extended its efforts to children as
well, instilling road safety
awareness to over 500
students and in 6 sessions
of the ‘Bayani Ka’(Bayani
ng Kalsada) caravan, in
various public schools and
shelters.
The Road Safety
Caravan involved interactive storytelling conducted
by volunteer employees of
MPT South and the distribution of ‘Bayani Ka’ activity books produced by the
toll road company.
A.K.O Donation
MPT South embraced the community
pantry concept that gained
popularity during the pandemic and established a
donation corner within its
office premises called A.K.O (Alagang Kapwa Oras-Oras).Through contributions from department offices and employees, the toll road company assisted eight communities and charity organizations in Cavite and Laguna, offering
essential items such as school supplies, relief goods, vitamins, and medicines for children and senior citizens.

This year, MPT
South’s annual Medical
Mission successfully provided free medical services, including general
and pediatric check-ups,
circumcision, and a feeding program, to 1,099 individuals from communities
within its alignment.This
was possible through partnerships with the Armed
Forces of the Philippines
Reserve Command,
LGUs, and City Health
Offices of General Trias,
Imus, Santa Rosa, and
Parañaque City.
Love Pets, Save Lives.
Finally, the toll road company maintained its
partnership with the Philippine Animal Welfare Society
(PAWS) to carry out the Love Pets, Save Lives animal
welfare program.
This initiative involved the promotion of Responsible Pet Ownership among adjacent communities
as well as providing free spaying and neutering services,
and in some legs vaccinations and pet microchipping,
for a total of 1,009 puspin (native cats) and aspin (native
dogs), to address the issue of stray animals wandering
along expressways in a more sustainable and compassionate manner.
MPT South has taken the lead as the first toll
road company to launch an animal welfare program.
