With the rising incidents of road crash fatalities in the country, Total (Philippines) Corporation has launched a campaign to perk up road safety awareness among road users in the country.
The year-long campaign dubbed “Road Safety Awareness for Everyone” or simply, R-SAFE, was born out of the company’s commitment to address the growing need to further educate and remind drivers of commuter vehicles on the important role they play in the lives of thousands of Filipinos.
“The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) has reported that over 79% of road crash fatalities in the Philippines are due to driver error. This is alarming, especially with 13 million driving licenses issued just in 2014,” says Chito Poblete, Vice President for HSEQ and Logistics, Total (Philippines) Corporation. “Total, as a provider of fuel and lubricants to different vehicles, recognizes the need to do something to promote road safety in the country.”
