OIL,

Oh So Precious

HEARING about a small company prospering in the country’s very competitive oil industry while competing with industrial giants is simply astonishing.

In Valle Verde 1, Pasig City, Seaoil just opened its 750th oil station at the intersection of C5 and Atis Ugong. Before the year is over, it will reportedly add another 100 stations, bringing the total to 850.

What a success story, as Seaoil is competing successfully with the Big 3 of the oil sector, Petron, Shell, and Caltex. When the local oil sector was deregulated, a number of independent fuel businesses emerged, but Seaoil is the largest and is quickly gaining favor with drivers who are looking for affordable but highquality fuel.

“We take great pride in the work we’ve done to inspire Filipinos to look forward to a better tomorrow. Our clients may expect more efforts in the years to come because we haven’t finished yet,” Glenn Yu, CEO of Seaoil, who had persevered greatly in positioning his company side-by-side with the titans in the local oil industry over the course of several decades, stated, -000While we’re on the subject of the local oil industry, many drivers are in disbelief over the nearly weekly increase in gas and diesel costs.

We are aware that this is a direct effect of the long-ago-enacted deregulation of oil pricing, which mandates price changes based on weekly prices on the global market.Since they were the ones who knew it, it is unknown how these are calculated by the various companies. Why different gas stations offer different types of prices on their respective websites continues to baffle many people.

When purchasing fuel near San Juan, you may expect to pay significantly less. However, it is already a different scenario when I cross the line and travel outside, say to Mandaluyong, Manila, or Quezon City. When compared to the next adjacent station that uses a different fuel name, there are times when one gas station offers a very pricey set of prices.

Many people wonder if the authorities are monitoring this or if each station can establish its own prices in accordance with its own preferences or if they are still constrained by the fixed prices for that specific week.

MOVE IT MOVES FORWARD WITH PROFESSIONALIZING HABAL-HABAL RIDERS

THE locally based motorcycle taxi service provider MOVE IT is actively working to professionalize the habal-habal industry. The problems preventing habal-habal riders from becoming skilled motorcycle taxi personnel were discussed by MOVE IT General Manager Wayne Jacinto with hundreds of riders and leaders through a series of conferences and discussions.

The government has called for solutions to safety, security, and cost issues with habal-habal activities across the nation, and MOVE IT’s project is a timely response. MOVE IT is proactively walking the grounds towards the professionalization of habal-habal riders as the MC Taxi industry aims for maximum safety, dependability, and professionalization of unlicensed motorcycle taxis for hire.

Habal-habal drivers discussed the difficulties they regularly encounter during the pilot forum, particularly those associated with fulfilling the requirements necessary to be recognized as professional MC cab drivers. The guests did, however, agree that their devotion to safety is what motivates them to pursue careers as motorcycle taxi professionals.

In order to help habal-habal riders integrate into the official MC Taxi industry, MOVE IT made the fundamental promise to help them earn professional licenses. Additionally, habal-habal drivers were invited to head straight to the assessment area for a quick skills evaluation and validation if they met all the requirements.

It is anticipated that those who passed the test will be officially onboarded as MOVE IT rider-partners.

In order to help its rider partners achieve financial stability, MOVE IT provides a range of rewarding earning opportunities and perks, such as low commission rates, aggressive incentive programs, all-inclusive insurance plans, and exclusive discounts on rider necessities. Additionally, MOVE IT’s rider partners are equipped to deliver professional and efficient motorcycle taxi services thanks to rigorous safety and tech training sessions.

The government’s aim of professionalized, safe, and dependable motorcycle taxi services is being adopted by MOVE IT’s innovative initiatives to professionalize the habalhabal sector, marking a significant advancement for MC Taxi and the larger transportation sector. The evolution of habal-habal riders into reputable MC Taxi experts will definitely usher in an exciting new chapter for the Philippine transportation environment as MOVE IT’s forums and debates progress.

AUCKLAND—The Filipinas will go all out to stretch their amazing run as they face mighty Norway on Sunday for a place in the top 16 of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in New Zealand.

“It is unbelievable to think that we are in this position. Any neutral person around the world would have not put any money on us to be in this position,” said Stajcic.

Their position ahead of their foes gives his over-acheving Filipinas a different kind of high even as they entered the tournament as underdogs.

“To be ahead of Norway in the league table after two matches is almost unheard of from any neutral pundit. We have earned the right to be in that position so that gives me a lot of belief and con dence.”

“They (the Filipinas) have earned the right to feel like that, in this position to feel con dent and that they can put points on the board.”

The ustralian coac is wary, however, of the “wounded” Norway squad.

“I’m wary of the wounded animal. They (Norway) have taken a hit to
