    “More than 20 years have passed since BCDA and Pilipinas Shell first entered into a public-private partnership for the lease of this property.

    For its part, PSPC announced its commitment to invest P80 million to P100 million for the improvement and redevelopment of the existing mobility station on the site.

    “C5 is a very important thoroughfare that connects people from the north and south, and we want to make the journey better and hassle-free for everyone. Our mobility stations are strategically located to make sure that we cater to every community. This C5 location is ideal because we can serve the various surrounding communities not only with fuels, but with other relevant products and services,” Del Valle said.

    "Our investments are geared for the community. Shell aims to power progress of the Philippines, and in this case, we are powering progress for people from Metro Manila, Taguig, and around the country," he continued.

    The oil firm, under the proposed development plan, is eyeing to upgrade its mobility station “in line with its future site design, introducing offers to address the needs of motorists and communities, while also incorporating sustainability initiatives.”

    The station, once completed, will offer add-on facilities for motorists, including a Shell Select convenience store, Shell Car Wash, Shell Helix Oil Change facility, Shell Advance MotoCare Express, a lounge, parking spaces as well as space for co-locators, such as restaurants and cafes.

    Further, the site design includes solar panels to cut down its overall electrical consumption, a green wall to offset carbon emissions from vehicles, grasscrete, ecoslab, and furniture made with upcycled single-use plastic. Aside from that, the station will also allot space for electric vehicle (EV) charging known as Shell Recharge.

    Upon learning about the company’s sustainability efforts, BCDA Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Aileen Zosa invited PSPC to explore other opportunities for partnership in New Clark City, BCDA’s inclusive, sustainable and smart city development in Capas, Tarlac.

    “I’m happy to know that Shell is giving back to the environment. Your progressive thinking, your sustainable principles — which I’m sure you advocate and adhere to — are really the right fit for New Clark City,” Zosa said.

    Del Valle welcomed Zosa’s remarks, adding that Shell already has a wealth of experience working with various smart cities in other parts of the globe.

    “With the expertise of BCDA from a location and development perspective, and the expertise of Shell in terms of supporting mobility, we can co-create and co-develop future-proof locations in New Clark City,” he said.
