Castrol PH Readies for Upcoming 'Partner for Life' Culminating Activity

Castrol Super Mechanic

Now on its fifth year, Castrol Philippines is gearing up for its Partner for Life (PFL) Program’s National Final event happening on November 24, Saturday, at the Trinoma Activity Center in Quezon City. The culminating activity, which will hail the next batch of PFL national champions, is now open to the public where mechanics from across the country can participate and enjoy in the day activities--a very first in Castrol's PFL history.

Since its kick-off in March, the 2018 Partner for Life advocacy program has been able to engage Filipino motorbike mechanics and develop their skills, knowledge, and expertise around two-wheeler mechanics. This year's advocacy program has had over 4,000 participating mechanics from all the different regions of the Philippines, who underwent Castrol's comprehensive courses such as Basic Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for Scooters, Bearing and Lubrication Training (with Castrol partner Koyo Bearing), motorcycle troubleshooting-guide, and customer service.

"Every year, we make sure that we are able to cast a wider net and reach a great amount of mechanics across the country who we train and recognize for their skills and performance. Our Partner for Life Programme has continually given us the opportunity to enable our fellow Filipino mechanics with the proper skillset and knowledge to be the best that they can be for their customers," said Maria Tañada, Country Sales Director, Castrol Philippines.

"We are very much excited for this year's National Finals as we open our doors to the public for the first time in the history of our advocacy program's annual culminating activity," she added.

The 2018 Partner for Life courses were held in 82 training centers across the Philippines. Per center, the program identifies the top performing teams in written exams and practical tests, who then compete in the troubleshooting test. The two fastest teams will represent their respective regions in the National final event.

The 2018 Partner for Life National Final Event will be open to the public and is happening on November 24. An evolution of previous finales, this year features a highly-technical competition from Q&A, quick maintenance round, and troubleshooting round. The winners will be given the title of '2018 Castrol Super Mechanics,' and will represent the Philippines for the 2019 Castrol Asia Pacific Mechanic Contest. All participating mechanics on the other hand, can expect to achieve greater skill and training on motorcycles, which they can apply into their own practice.

Interested mechanics who will not be competing during the National Finals are highly encouraged to join the day event where they can witness the advocacy program in person. Here, they can expect to learn more about the opportunities of the advocacy program and sign up for Partner for Life 2019.
