“Phoenix Petroleum has been around for 18 years now and it is about time I hand over its management to people who can lead it to new and greater heights. Bong has only been in the company for a few years, but has already proven his effectiveness as a leader. I am confident that as the second and new president of Phoenix Petroleum, he will continue to build the company into a dynamic, world-class brand with a professional and progressive corporate culture and discipline,” Uy said.

Phoenix has never been this progressive and diverse, and as the new president of the company, I vow to continue working towards our goal of becoming an indispensable partner in the journey of everyone whose life we touch, and seek excellence in everything we do,” Fadullon said.
