Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc., in partnership with the Department of Energy and the Department of Agriculture, is helping farmers and fisherfolk reach their market by allotting space in select fuel stations until the end of this year. “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent quarantine measures imposed in different cities nationwide, distribution of agricultural goods has been affected, leaving farmers and fishermen with limited livelihood opportunities,” Phoenix general manager for retail sales Eric Inocencio said in a statement. “We recognize the challenges that this crisis has brought upon Filipinos, including those in the agriculture sector,” Inocencio said.
