On May 12, 2015, Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) officially awarded the winner of the P100,000 cash rebate for the 100,000th unit owner of the Isuzu Crosswind - the winner, a lucky family man from Cagayan De Oro City, Mr. Nestor A. Bagaporo, who together with his family received the award at IPC’s local dealership in CDO.

Present during the awarding is IPC Vice President for Sales, Mr. Daisuke Inaba, Isuzu CDO President and General Manager, Mr. Frank Rolida and Isuzu CDO Asst. General Manager and Sales Manager, Mr. George Ongchua.

“The Crosswind is now more than 100,000 units strong and in such momentous event like this, we would like to show our appreciation to our customers.” said Mr. Inaba. “The Philippines is among the few countries worldwide that sell this model and we are proud it is well received by the Filipinos.” added Inaba.

It all came as surprise for the 59 year old Bagaporo, as there was no official announcement that IPC will be giving away cash rebate to the lucky owner of the 100,000th unit.

A retired security personnel, Mr. Bagaporo worked hard early in his life and now manages his own security agency operating in CDO. He himself is admitted that he does not know how to drive a 4-wheel vehicle and that he hires a personal driver to drive his family around the city.

Accustomed only with his motorcycle, Mr. Bagaporo has always dreamt of owning his own 4-wheel vehicle someday. And when the time comes that he can finally afford to buy one, he chose want he think is the best for his family, the 2015 Isuzu Crosswind.

“I prefer the Crosswind because of its over-all appearance. I also like that you can easily fit in the whole family – its spacious and very convenient.” said Bagaporo. “The cash rebate that we received today will be added to the family’s savings. Our heartfelt thanks to Isuzu Philippines and Isuzu Cagayan De Oro for this surprise blessing.” he added.

Aside from the cash rebate, IPC also gifted OFW and graduating student buyers with a P10,000 worth of Gerry’s grill gift certificates last month which is on top of the on-going outright P75,000 cash discount upon purchase.
