The Johnnie Walker Responsible Drinking Ambassador was joined by CATS Motors, Inc. Presdient Felix Ang, Makati City Mayor Hon. Jejomar “Jun-Jun” Binay Jr.; Representative Irwin Tieng, a principal author of the Anti-Drunk Driving Bill; and MMDA Traffic Discipline Head Yves Gonzales in signing their names as a pledge to this advocacy.

“Join the Pact dives deeply into a relevant key social issue that cuts across whatever city, country or part of the world you may be and I am delighted to continue my role as the Johnnie Walker Responsible Drinking Ambassador with this recent visit to the Philippines,” said Mika Hakkinen.

“In its simplest form, responsible drinking means that people need to be accountable for their own safety and that of those around them. Part of this means not drinking alcohol if you are planning to drive or appointing a friend to be the designated driver. It may sound simple, but unfortunately there are still people who are not aware of the dangers of drinking and driving,” he added.

Following the ceremony is a motorcade of Mercedes-Benz AMG cars around Makati and Bonifacio Global City.
Hakkinen’s visit capped off with an exclusive party at Prive, where the Formula One World Champion himself drove home a lucky winner in a Mercedes-Benz.

Since its inception in 2008, Join the Pact has gathered over a million signatures and has visited over 30 countries including those in Europe, North America, Latin America, and most recently, Asia.
