Chevron defines 2025 with retail network and social investment growth 2025 marked the beginning of Bon Tangmanuswong’s term as CPI’s top executive

Caltex Sta. Rosa–Tagaytay Road, one of the new Caltex retail sites opened in 2025, strengthens Chevron Philippines Inc.’s growing network and commitment to serving motorists in key growth areas.

Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), marketer of Caltex and lubricants, went the extra mile in 2025, achieving success across its nationwide site expansion, new strategic partnerships, and social initiatives. 

The year also marked Pongtorn “Bon” Tangmanuswong as its newest general manager and country chairman. Fresh from his stint as Chevron Cambodia’s top executive, Tangmanuswong brings 17 years of leadership experience across the brand’s Asia-Pacific markets to the role. He said, “In 2025, I learned more about the Philippines’ dynamic fuel market and what we can do to unleash its untapped potential. This year’s direction will be shaped by our 109-year legacy in the Philippines and our commitment to innovation and sustainability.” 

Continued Nationwide Site Expansion 

CPI also continued to expand its retail sites in key areas around the Philippines, opening 18 new service stations nationwide. This includes sites in Laoag City in Ilocos Norte, Balaoan in La Union, Makati, Tagaytay, Puerto Pricesa in Palawan, and Bacolod. 

CPI also opened a total of 75 Caltex Havoline Autopro and Bikepro workshops in 2025, bringing the nationwide network to over 500 locations. Through this, more Filipino motorists can avail of Caltex’s 22 different maintenance services performed by expert mechanics. 

Throughout 2025, Chevron’s strategy ensured that the new sites were close to urban hubs, major highways, and landmarks. This is a testament to Chevron’s commitment to providing Filipinos with premium customer experience brought by Caltex’s unbeatable fuels and reliable maintenance services. 

New and sustained partnerships for improved fuel services

CPI also inked new partnerships and maintained strong relationships with stakeholders that can help the brand improve its services in the Philippines. For starters, it renewed its mutually beneficial lease agreements with Batangas Land Company, Inc. (BLC) for the lease of BLC properties in San Pascual, Batangas; Lapu-Lapu, Cebu; San Fernando (Poro), La Union; and Sasa, Davao City. This way, the brand can continue providing fuel services to nearby communities. 

Caltex also teamed up with local coffee chain PICKUP COFFEE this year to strengthen its non-fuel retail offerings. The partnership entails PICKUP COFFEE opening up kiosks in retail sites to energize motorists with its espresso-based drinks and excellent customer service. As of January 2026, 20 new booths opened, bringing PICKUP COFFEE’s Caltex locations up to 32. 

Reflecting on their partnership with Caltex, PICKUP COFFEE Chief Executive Officer   Francis Flores said, “Our partnership with Caltex reflects our long-standing commitment to serving customers where they may need it the most. We are optimistic that this is the beginning of a long-term relationship—one that is grounded on mutual trust and a commitment to genuine service.”  

Caltex also maintained its tie-up with convenience store chain 7-Eleven to open more branches tailored for motorists on the go. In 2025, 5 new 7-Eleven stores propped up in Caltex stations, bringing the total count to 123. 

Impactful social initiatives 

Beyond its smart fuel offerings and car maintenance services, Chevron takes pride in its social initiatives spanning various advocacies. This commitment endured in 2025, thanks to its yearly outreach and sustainability programs across Chevron’s subsidiaries. 

For instance, Chevron continued its tradition of backing AmCham Foundation Philippines’ ScholaCOLORun, an annual fun run that raises funds to send underprivileged youths to school. This year’s edition attracted a total of 3,458 runners, including 290 participants from CPI and Chevron Holdings Inc. (CHI). Their efforts benefited 109 scholars, proving that every sweat drop was worth it. 

Speaking on behalf of the scholars, AmCham President Edwin Feist said, “Here at AmCham, we believe that education is the key to fighting poverty. We are grateful for Chevron and CHI’s support throughout the years, as this partnership has helped many young Filipinos fulfill their potential and provide for their families.” 

In September, CPI gathered 250 volunteers across its employees, contractors, and community partners for its annual Coastal Cleanup in San Pascual, Batangas. Together, they collected 232 sacks of trash along the shoreline beside Chevron’s Batangas Terminal, creating an ideal nesting spot for Olive Ridley Sea turtles. 

For Chevron’s yearly Volunteer Day, employees from CPI and Caltex Makati Credit Cooperative (CMCC) travelled to Guanella Center, Inc., to bond with beneficiaries with special needs. Through a simple program of exciting games and shared lunch, the volunteers helped their beneficiaries build their social skills, especially with people outside of the residence. 

Chevron spent 2025 providing reliable fuels to Filipino motorists and empowering underserved sectors through outreach and sustainability programs.  With 2026 underway,

Chevron remains determined to build a future through strategic innovations and enduring social initiatives.
