Chevron donated farm produce to 80 families in Barangay Pagibig sa Nayon, Quezon City

The pandemic has shrunk the income of local farmers who are having trouble delivering their produce to markets while those working-at-home think of ways to eat healthy and eliminate food waste.

Chevron seeks to fill this gap by promoting a healthy lifestyle and buying organic farm products from local sources. The project called Oh, My Gulay saw Chevron donating of farm produce to 80 families in Bry. Pagibig sa Nayon, Quezon City. Chevron bought the vegetables from farmers in Pampanga and Nueva Ecija. 

The activity was sponsored by the Caltex Makati Credit Cooperative Union, Chevron Holdings Inc. (CHI), the company’s global shared services center, and Chevron Philippines Inc., marketer of Caltex fuels and lubricants. 

 The employees also joined an online class about preparing healthy dishes with no food waste while preserving the nutrients of vegetables and fruits. Around 136 employees of both CPI and CHI joined the workshop by YouTuber and influencer Chef Joy Escobar. The virtual class aims to raise awareness about eating healthy while buying locally to support farmers and businesses.

 

The project is one of the activities featured in Chevron’s annual Volunteer Week which encourages employees to volunteer time and resources to help disadvantaged communities.

Caltex offers fuel discounts to all "bakunado" motorists

Caltex, marketed by Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), is fueling the Philippines' fight against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) by offering fuel discounts to all motorists who have already been inoculated from the virus with its “Biyaheng Bakunado” promo. 

“To battle swirling myths, fake news, and apprehension about vaccines’ efficacy, Caltex wants to encourage more Filipinos to get inoculated to protect themselves and their loved ones from COVID-19 by offering fuel discounts. The more people can get vaccinated, the faster the country move toward normalcy and economic recovery,” said CPI Country Chairman Billy Liu. 

With the promo, vaccinated motorists can enjoy a P3 discount per liter for Platinum and Silver, and P2 per liter for Diesel at all participating Caltex stations nationwide.  

To get the discount, Caltex customers simply need to present a vaccination card and valid ID, and log in their details on the discount record sheet of the participating Caltex site. 

Customers need to be vaccinated on or before the promo duration and customers who currently have one dose may also qualify for the discount. 

“Safety has always been a value of Caltex and this initiative is one way of fleshing out what is important to the Caltex brand and its customers,” added Liu.

The promo, which runs from June 28 to July 18, aims to help boost Filipinos’ vaccine confidence, while helping motorists save up every time they fill their tanks with Caltex quality fuels.

To also make Filipino motorists’ drives safer and smoother, Caltex stations across the country remain open during the pandemic to serve them with quality fuel. In addition, Caltex continues to provide contactless payment options for customers, regularly sanitizes its stations, frequently conducts temperature checks for its staff, and implements social distancing measures.
