This Father’s Day, Nissan Philippines honors the strength, dedication, and quiet sacrifices of Filipino fathers through a heartfelt story that celebrates family and gratitude.
Leo Miscala has been working behind the wheel since 2003, doing everything he could to support his family. After his wife Victoria moved to Metro Manila in search of better opportunities, Leo followed, stepping into a new chapter of his life. He began with pedicabs and tricycles before becoming a taxi driver—navigating unfamiliar roads and facing daily challenges with resilience and determination.
Throughout those years, he drove a Nissan Sentra as his taxi. The comfort and reliability of the vehicle made a lasting impression on him, quietly inspiring a dream: to one day own a Nissan of his own. Though he never voiced this wish, his children saw the effort he put in and the unspoken dreams he carried.
To show their deep appreciation, Leo’s children—Hector, Levi, and Michelle—decided it was time to give back. On his birthday, they surprised him with a gift that captured years of sacrifice and hope: a brand-new Nissan Terra.
With its strength, versatility, and refined comfort, the Nissan Terra reflects Leo’s own qualities as a father—tireless, steadfast, and always putting his family first. After decades of driving for others, the Terra now stands as both a reward and a symbol of the journey they’ve all taken together.
“This Father’s Day, we are proud to share the inspiring story of the Miscala family, recognizing the hard work and sacrifices of fathers like Leo,” says Nissan Philippines. “We are honored that the Nissan Terra plays such a meaningful role in their story.”
