One Fine Day at Toyota Alabang

Why their Kids Tech Program is probably the best in the industry

- BY HAZEL IMPERIAL

Dear Jesus, I pray that one day, I'll be a worker at Toyota Alabang.

My eyes searched for the face of my eldest, Tyler, in the dim room. It was bedtime, and as soon as my eyes adjusted in the dark, I saw that his face radiated pure sincerity. At eight years of age, he actually meant every word in his prayer.

I was surprised.

But I actually cannot blame him. He had just spent a good part of the day at Toyota Alabang's Kids Tech workshop with his younger brother, Hunter, aged four, last June 3. The said interactive workshop was set on the spacious compound of Toyota Alabang located along Alabang-Zapote Road in Muntinlupa City.

My husband and I have always fondly called Tyler our little engineer, having been able to master and craft complex structures and patterns on his own using Legos, as early as age two. So it was pretty much a no-brainer to say yes to the invitation from the folks at Toyota.

Established in 1989, Alabang is the fourth dealership to be appointed by its parent company, Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation, and has since set itself to be well-poised not just for being a consistent top sales contributor, but also for its innovative and customer-centric approach, notably through its community partnerships.
