Phoenix Petroleum made the disclosure to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s revised disclosure rules and the Securities Regulation Code.
The company reported a net income of P296 million in the third quarter, reversing its P5-million loss in the second quarter. Overall volume sales climbed by 42% from July to September with the recovery of its local business and relaxed quarantine measures.
