Auto industry execs get together in Bridestone golf tournament for a cause

PHILIPPINE Allied Enterprises Corporation, the exclusive distributor of Bridgestone in the country, recently held its first golf invitational, a fund-raising tournament, participated by key automotive personalities at Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club.
During the event, Bridgestone announced its support to ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation’s disaster risk reduction management arm, Sagip Kapamilya.
In an interview, Leslie Tagle-Dinglasan, Bridgestone’s VP for marketing, said that “together with the rest of the Bridgestone Group worldwide, our business partners and customers, we are committed to continually working towards a sustainable society.”
Present during the event were Sagip Kapamilya’s program director Higino Dungo Jr. and deputy director Marcel Riñon, who accepted the donation. The donation was handed over by Tagle-Dinglasan.

The Japanese tiremaker also announced the arrival of its new Turanza GR100 and Potenza RE003 in third quarter. “Turanza GR100 is the flagship model of the premium Turanza line developed through Bridgestone’s cutting-edge tire technologies, taking passengers on a journey to the ultimate level of premium comfort, superior quietness, and assured confidence,” Dinglasan said.

Potenza RE003, on the other hand, is designed to deliver precision handling and maximum control. The tire is built with the optimal mix of powerful traction, handling stability and quick initial response on dry roads, and sure handling and braking on wet roads. “Although sporty driving performance is the core attribute of the new Adrenalin RE003, ride comfort has also been significantly improved to provide a ride that is as comfortable as it is sporty,” Dinglasan added.
