Recently, BAIC FOTON held a ceremony at its A. Bonifacio showroom in Manila, officially handing over a brand-new TRUCKMATE mini truck to delivery rider Joseph Tobias. This charitable initiative was made possible through the Filipino public service program Kapatid Mo, Idol Raffy Tulfo. The donation aims to provide a safer and more reliable means of transportation for Tobias, a single father who has spent the past three years commuting with his 3-year-old son on a motorcycle to deliver goods between Cavite and Bataan.

A Public Service Response to a Real-Life Need

As no one to care for his child, Joseph Tobias had no choice but to bring his young son along on the back of his motorcycle while making deliveries—rain or shine. His story of perseverance quickly drew widespread public attention. After Filipino Senator Raffy Tulfo launched an appeal for assistance through his well-known public service program, BAIC FOTON responded without hesitation by donating a seven-seater FOTON aumark mini truck.Equipped with a reinforced safety frame and a spacious cargo area, the vehicle not only ensures a safer ride for Tobias’s child but also significantly boosts his delivery capacity. This donation offers a more secure and sustainable means of livelihood for the father and son.
