And the generosity continues with the help of Petron and Total Philippines.

Despite the inconvenience the COVID-19 pandemic brought, there are still people and organizations who have decided to extend a helping hand for those who are in need, finding different ways to show their gratitude to our frontliners and fight off the virus.

Petron announced that Petron Value Card (PVC) holders can donate their points to fund personal protective equipment, masks, and relief packs for the health workers from the Lung Center Philippines.

Petron has pledged an initial contribution of Php 1-million to support the PVC drive.

Moreover, Petron also donated free fuel for MMDA and DOTr’s libreng sakay program. The oil refining company hopes that this contribution will provide convenience for our frontliners amid the enhanced community quarantine.

“These are challenging times but we will get through this together. We are tirelessly working and thinking of ways how we can make things easier for our fellow Filipinos, especially those at the frontlines,” Petron president and CEO Ramon S. Ang said.
