CHEVRON PHILIPPINES, INC. (CPI), a downstream oil company and marketer of the Caltex brand of fuels and lubricants, has appointed Pongtron “Bon” Tangmanuswong as its new general manager and country chairman.

In a media release on Wednesday, CPI said Mr. Tangmanuswong will lead the company’s nationwide operations and oversee more than 600 Caltex stations, 450 AutoPro workshops, major commercial accounts, and five Chevron proprietary terminals.

“The Philippine market is dynamic, competitive, and full of untapped potential. I’m committed to leading with vision, energy, and a spirit of collaboration,” Mr. Tangmanuswong said.

He succeeds Billy Liu, who led the company for nearly five years and is now taking a new role at Chevron’s headquarters in Houston.

Mr. Tangmanuswong joined Chevron in 2008 and has held leadership roles in procurement, supply chain, engineering, asset optimization, and special projects across Asia-Pacific markets.

He most recently served as general manager and country chairman of Chevron (Cambodia) Ltd., overseeing terminal operations, product supply, distribution, and marketing. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera
