Petron is the official fuel and engine oil of 2022 Toyota Vios Cup

Tweet

Industry leaders Petron Corporation and Toyota Motor Philippines have strengthened their motorsports partnership in the 2022 edition of the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Vios Cup, now with PETRON XCS as the official fuel and PETRON BLAZE RACING ENGINE OIL as the official engine oil of the event.

TGR Vios Cup 2022 includes two main events, with the Circuit Championship showcasing the country’s top racing teams, and the Autocross Challenge featuring celebrities, influencers, and media personalities. The series consists of 3 legs, running in July, August, and November.

The race cars competing in the TGR Vios Cup 2022 are all powered by PETRON XCS, a 95-octane premium gasoline formulated with a high-performance additive system containing a unique combustion catalyst and excellent detergent additive for optimum performance. The additive technology used in PETRON XCS ensures quicker engine response, excellent engine protection, and optimal fuel efficiency.

Speaking to some of the competitors at Leg 1 held last July 2 at the Clark International Speedway, professional racer and motoring personality Mike Potenciano was able to gather excellent testimonials about the official fuel.

For instance, keen competitor and consistent podium finisher Iñigo Anton says: “Amazing! PETRON XCS works very well with our Vios Cup race cars and, of course, our road cars. It is good that Petron also supports local racing championships as it brings in more racers and a lot more competition.”

Meanwhile, Red Diwa, a Super Sporting Class competitor, observes: “The XCS fuel is the number 1 fuel in the Philippines. There was no power drop from start to finish and it was very strong and powerful.”

Joaquin Garrido, Sporting Class rounds 1 and 2 winner for Leg 1, echoes the observations: “It is a very, very good fuel for racing and for the road as well! There was no difference in power for the whole race.”

Finally, Gerald Loy, who finished first in the Super Sporting Class of the leg’s second round, notes: “Ang XCS natin ok na ok. Kahit sobrang init, from start to finish, walang problema.”

With PETRON XCS as the official fuel of the 2022 TGR Vios Cup, competitors are assured of enhanced engine power and responsiveness for the most optimal track performance. In fact, as the most widely used gasoline in the country, race drivers are familiar with the superior qualities of PETRON XCS in powering their everyday drives, protecting the engines of their personal cars, and enjoying savings due to fuel economy.

Perfectly complementing and optimizing the performance benefits of PETRON XCS is the official engine oil for this competition season, PETRON BLAZE RACING ENGINE OIL. Formulated with a Thermal Stress Stabilizing System (TS3) that keeps the oil stable even at extreme temperatures, this line of gasoline engine oils provides the ultimate protection from engine stress while maintaining superior engine cleanliness.

Having served the fuel needs of the country for almost 90 years, only Petron has a deep understanding of the unique driving conditions on Philippine roads. Created by Filipinos for Filipinos, Petron fuels and lubricants are designed to meet the motoring needs of everyone, whether for everyday road use or on the highly-competitive racetrack.

AXA Philippines supports marine environmental education through Emma by AXA

Tweet

AXA has long been guided by its sustainability pillars centered around climate change and biodiversity, as well as inclusive protection. In the Philippines, the company has partnered with numerous groups and causes that share the same advocacy. This August, AXA Philippines is partnering with Oceanus Conservation, a science-based non-profit environmental organization focusing on the conservation and restoration of blue carbon habitats in the Philippines, to promote ocean literacy to Filipino children.

Being an archipelago, the Philippines has a rich biodiversity. However, access to marine environmental education remains limited around the country. Oceanus aims to invest in the future of Filipinos through marine environmental education in local communities and marine-field programs that promote better appreciation of the country’s marine life. Recently, they launched their second educational children’s storybook, “Ocean Adventures with Cory,” that shines a light on the impact of climate change on coral reefs.

For every AXA Philippines customer who will sign up, pay their premium for the first time, or do top-ups on Emma by AXA through the app or website from July 25 to August 31, AXA Philippines will donate ocean education storybooks to the children of Oceanus’ partner local communities through AXA Hearts in Action, AXA's volunteer program. Customers who successfully register to Emma by AXA will also receive an electronic certificate to commemorate their donation.

“As a company that is committed to sustainability, we always seek new ways to do our part in protecting the environment. Through this partnership, we hope to promote ocean education, make ocean literacy more accessible, and inspire the future generations to help protect our oceans,” shared Nandy Villar, AXA Philippines Chief Customer Officer.

Through Emma by AXA and AXA Hearts in Action, AXA Philippines aims to be an avenue that supports relevant social causes. Recently, they also had the “Adopt a Mangrove Seedling” program wherein mangroves were planted on behalf of customers. The company also organized a bayanihan drive in partnership with Cropital, a program that directly support local farmers, wherein AXA Philippines purchased rice from Cropital farmers and donated these to beneficiary communities.

Emma by AXA allows safe and convenient in-app transactions for AXA customers such as checking of policy information real-time and hassle-free filing of hospitalization and motor claims. Non-AXA customers can also get free 24/7 access to emergency services such as roadside, medical, fire, and police assistance. The app also allows users to contact their loved ones in case of emergencies quickly, letting them list up to three emergency contacts on the app.

Moreover, AXA customers can easily accomplish other essential transactions on the app, such as accessing their ePolicy, avail medical teleconsultation, and access their Global Health Access or Health Care Access eCard.

Emma by AXA can be downloaded on the Google Play or App Store. It can also be accessed via web. For more information, visit axa.com.ph/emma.
