Nana Bambi's

Dear Art,

My name is Aidan Mulkerrins. I am an Australian currently based in Aldinga Beach, South Australia, and I am writing to make an initial enquiry regarding Isuzu vehicles for a business I am developing in the Philippines with my wife, Aileen Mulkerrins.

I want to be upfront from the start — Nana Bambi's is currently in the design and planning stage. It is not yet operational. I am scheduled to arrive in the Philippines in September 2026, and I am building detailed cost models now so that our vehicle acquisition is properly budgeted before we begin purchasing.

About the Business

Nana Bambi's is a vertically integrated, regenerative farm-to-table enterprise based in Ragay, Camarines Sur, Bicol. The enterprise operates across twelve divisions — covering livestock, poultry, marine and seafood, market, butcher, feeds and supply, delivery logistics, a regenerative food forest, and Alejandro's Cafe, our flagship restaurant currently under design and construction.

Delivery logistics is central to our revenue model from day one. We are building a mixed-produce delivery network serving Sipocot, Daet, Tagkawayan and surrounding barangays, operating twice-weekly runs combining meat, seafood and produce. The fleet is not a convenience — it is the business.

Priority Vehicle — Isuzu NPS 75/175 4x4

My first intended purchase on arrival is the Isuzu NPS 75/175 4x4. Our operation requires access to mountain barangay roads in Ragay that are beyond the capability of a standard rear-wheel-drive truck. I need a cab-chassis that handles genuine off-road terrain, not just rough sealed road.

I would welcome from you:

• Current pricing for the NPS 75/175 4x4
• Available rear body configurations suitable for farm and light freight use
• Lead times for supply
• Finance options available through Isuzu Financial Services or in-house

Subsequent Fleet

Once the NPS is acquired and the business is running, our fleet plan expands progressively to include utility vehicles, vans — including refrigerated — and potentially a PUV configuration for community use. Our full planned fleet runs to ten vehicles over five years. I am keen to understand early whether there is a fleet relationship worth building with YGC for the broader acquisition.

Key Questions

Beyond specific vehicle pricing, I have a number of practical questions that will influence our decision:

• Where is the nearest authorised Isuzu service centre to Ragay, Camarines Sur — and what does warranty coverage look like for vehicles operating in a rural province?
• What fleet pricing, fleet benefits or service agreements does YGC offer for a multi-vehicle acquisition over time?
• What finance terms are available — deposit requirements, term length, interest rates?
• Is Isuzu the right choice for this type of working farm and logistics operation in Bicol terrain — and if so, which models would you recommend beyond the NPS?

I am not asking you to hold stock or prepare a contract at this stage. I am asking whether Isuzu — and YGC specifically — is the right partner to build with. Clear answers to the questions above will go a long way.

I am happy to correspond by email from Australia in the meantime, and I look forward to meeting in person when I arrive in September 2026.
