On the other hand, Juan Manuel Hoyos, the President of NPI, shared his enthusiasm regarding the fresh collaboration with the DOT.
“While the Department of Tourism already has a strong vision to enhance the love for the Philippines among locals and tourists alike — something I personally share — Nissan is fully supportive of this vision. We are committed to crafting innovative vehicles and technologies that bring excitement to these journeys, all the while contributing positively to society and the environment.”
