Isuzu Gencars Makati received the Dealer of the Year Award (DOYA) from Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) during the 2022 Dealer of the Year Awards Night held on January 27, 2023 at the Grand Ballroom of Marriott Hotel in Pasay City.

The Dealer of the Year Award is given by Isuzu Philippines Corporation to recognize the hard work and exemplary sales and aftersales performance of Isuzu dealers each year.

Aside from the DOYA, Isuzu Makati, which has satellite branches in Naga and Legazpi in the Bicol Region, also won 1st Place in the Excellence in Parts Operations category and 2nd Place in the Excellence in Service Operations category.

In her brief message during the awarding ceremony, Isuzu Gencars, Inc. President Lerma O. Nacnac expressed gratitude to IPC for the recognition.

This is the fruit of the hard labor, cooperation, teamwork, and collaboration of the group,” Nacnac said, ending her message with a wish for the team to “consistently have a good performance for the years to come.”

Isuzu Gencars, Inc. Chairman D. Edgard A.

Without your help and without your commitment, this award would never be possible,” said Cabangon.

In January 2015, Isuzu Gencars provided the custom Isuzu D-MAX Popemobile used by His Holiness Pope Francis during his visit to the Philippines.
