Caltex 'Fuel Your School' program to fund Bicol public high schools

Caltex customers in the Bicol region can help the public schools in the area as the petroleum brand's Fuel Your School (FYS) program will help fund projects in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics for high-need public high schools in the province.

From July 1 to August 31, Caltex will donate P1 for every liter of fuel purchase in the 22 Caltex stations in Bicol. Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), marketer of the Caltex fuels and lubricants, hopes to raise P3 million under the program. Through the program, the Department of Education will select Bicol’s highest-need public high schools which can submit projects eligible for funding under the program while the American Chamber Foundation will screen the projects and purchase the equipment for the qualified entries. Southern Cross Distribution, Inc., the pioneer Branded Marketer partner of Chevron and distributor of Caltex fuels in the Bicol region, will help fund the program, as well as promote FYS. All 22 Caltex stations in Bicol will reportedly participate in this program. According to CPI and the Department of Education, this year, high schools across the country will need more equipment as the first batch of grade 12 senior highs school students will enter the government’s K-12 education system.
