Phoenix starts fuel delivery to small firms

PHOENIX Petroleum Philippines, Inc. (Phoenix) started delivering its fuel products directly to small and medium enterprises as part of its business adjustment during the global pandemic.

The listed oil company on Wednesday said it is giving businesses an option to buy at least 3,000 liters of fuel to be delivered from its select fuel stations around Metro Manila and neighboring cities.

“At Phoenix, we recognize the critical role of petroleum products to the operations of small and medium enterprises. Thus, to be able to help entrepreneurs get back to business, we launched this fuel delivery service, hoping to provide a more convenient option for customers in need of quality fuel supply during a time when mobility can be challenging,” Phoenix Petroleum Chief Operating Officer Henry R. Fadullon said in a statement.

The company is offering the service for the first time which comes along with additional charges based on the delivery location, as well as delivery fees.

Mr. Fadullon said the company has introduced various programs online where its customers are able to buy their products.

“While we continue to provide help to individuals and communities in need during this trying time, Phoenix Petroleum has also been relentless in finding ways to adapt and adjust our business to the new norm,” he said.

“The digital platform has become an essential part of our operations these days, and so far, we have launched various ways for customers to avail of our products online,” he added.

Around 90% of Phoenix Petroleum’s fuel stations are currently operating during the quarantine period since March. — Adam J. Ang
