Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), the marketer of the Caltex brand of fuels and lubricants, recently inaugurated a Caltex service station located along the National Highway in EL Nido in the province of Palawan.

The opening of the service station will allow more motoring consumers to use Caltex brand and further improves the quality of fuel in the country.

In his press statement, CPI General Manager Peter Morris enthuses on the robust economic growth and the sustained positive outlook of tourism in El Nido, the so-called last Philippine biodiversity frontier.

“With businesses continuing to flourish here, along with the influx of tourists, the opening of our new Caltex station in El Nido will not only give easy access to local and visiting motorists, but also create more jobs and fuel more businesses in the community,” adds Morris.

Morris explained, “Complying with Euro 4 standards—the second strictest emission measurement of the European Emission Standards, Chevron aims to take part in preserving the country’s last frontier through its environment-friendly fuel.  We believe that protecting the environment is compatible with providing energy.” 

The expansion of service stations aims to provide motorists convenient access to clean, quality and Euro-4 compliant fuels. The newly opened Caltex service station in El Nido is an addition to Caltex’s growing retail service station network across the country. This year, Caltex has opened almost 10 stations in strategic locations all over the Philippines, and is targeting to open a total of more than 30 outlets for the year.

Caltex fuels includes Caltex Silver with Techron, Caltex Platinum with Techron, and Caltex Diesel with Techronare all designed to deliver lower emissions, higher performance and cleaner engines.
