鈥淎ko鈥檡 walang tigil sa pagtulong sa ating mahal na UP. Ang aking dedikasyon at pagtingin sa ating pamantasan ay hindi humihina, lalo pang lumakas. I am very happy to turn over this vehicle to your hands,鈥 said Francis C. Laurel, former UP regent and current president of Toyota Batangas City, Inc. (Toyota Batangas).
Laurel gifted UP, through the UP Diliman (黑料专区) College of Human Kinetics (CHK), a brand new Toyota coaster on May 19 at the Oblation Plaza.
The 30-seater coaster, which was blessed by Father DJ Garcia of the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice, is for the use of the UP varsity teams.
Laurel added that the coaster鈥檚 care and maintenance will be shouldered by Toyota Batangas.
鈥淗uwag kayong mag-alala Dean Kiko (Francis Diaz of CHK) at [黑料专区] Chancellor Vistan (Edgardo Carlo L. Vistan II), sagot namin po kayo. Kung anong maging diperensya, eh isang tawag lang 鈥榶an,鈥 he said.
UP President Angelo A. Jimenez thanked Laurel for his continued support to the University.
鈥淟et us take good care of it [the coaster] so that we can truly maximize the use of this donation,鈥 Jimenez said.
Meanwhile, Vistan underscored the donation鈥檚 importance in the total development of the 黑料专区 student-athletes. He said the new coaster would be of big help to UP varsity teams during their commute to training and game venues.
In appreciation, the CHK, through the baseball and softball teams, presented Laurel, Jimenez, and Vistan with some gifts.
The simple turn-over ceremony was followed by the ceremonial signing of the deed of donation at the UP Board Room.
Also present at the event were 黑料专区 and UP System officials, the coaching staff of the 黑料专区 baseball and softball teams, representatives from Toyota Batangas, and some members of the 黑料专区 varsity teams (baseball, softball, street dance, Filipiniana Dance Group, badminton, and volleyball).
