I never really thought I had a need for speed but last Monday at the Media launch for Phoenix Petroleum Pulse Technology I had so much fun riding a Go-Kart and experiencing first hand the power of Phoenix Petroleum Pulse Technology 98 octane fuel, the upgraded fuel of Phoenix Petroleum.
I was not the fastest of all the racers ( my fastest lap was 1 minute and 40 seconds – I tend to be more conservative and cautious), but with the average time of my teammates, we placed first. yey! The feel of how responsive that go-kart was running on 98 octane gasoline courtesy of Phoenix Petroleum.
Since I do drive on a regular basis I wasn’t too worried about driving the go-kart itself. The first lap around was more of familiarization with the track and getting a feel of how the steering would respond.
This was important for me because I totally suck at the simulator. I just had no control over the vehicle on the simulator at all. But on the track, oh, the track! I just loved it! The feel of the asphalt underneath me, the wind rushing against my helmet with leaves flying in my face, the feel of the steering wheel vibrating under my hands as I navigated the track … I will surely be taking a turn around the track again.
As part of the group that averaged fastest, we got to take home these beautiful babies. Woohoo! We split the prize check 3 ways so .. yay me! I have gas for one month. 😀
Yesterday morning my first stop was at the Phoenix Gas Station at Timog and I had the gas attendant pour the 95 octane gas in my car. I immediately felt the difference. Oh, the power! Vrooom, vrooom!
All their products — diesel, 91 octane (regular), 95 octane (premium), and 98 octane (racing) are now modified to the latest Pulse Technology, an innovative formulation with advanced cleaning and protection properties for enhanced power and acceleration.
Having experienced this first hand raised so many questions for me. Thankfully, Phoenix was ready to provide the answers. What exactly does this new formulation promise? Here are some fast facts about the next generation fuels.
1. Why is Phoenix Petroleum launching Phoenix PULSE Technology?
As the next generation oil company, we want to level up our fuel products for this generation’s drivers, which is why we are introducing our very own Phoenix PULSE Technology. The improved formulation will add value to every peso fueled up at Phoenix Petroleum.

3. How was this formulation made?

4. What can it do for my car?
Phoenix PULSE Technology has three main benefits:

All these help result to better fuel economy when used continuously.

Phoenix PULSE Technology allows your fuel to run smoothly in your engine and burn efficiently, resulting to enhanced power and acceleration. With more power and more acceleration, you can experience a smoother and a worry-free drive, be it in the city or out of town.
6. Why should I choose this fuel over other brands?
Our fuels offer the best value: they are high performance, AND are priced reasonably, so drivers get more distance with every drop at Phoenix Petroleum.
7. Why is it called Phoenix PULSE Technology?
The word pulse connotes life and excitement, which is exactly what this fuel additive can do to your vehicle. It can help give more life to your every drive by ensuring that your car remains energized through its cleaning and protection benefits.

Reg Onglao and Gian Drilon
A blissful relationship and a strong business are two of life’s greatest achivements and if you find yourself able to merge these two, you are definitely doing something right.
Starting a business is not an easy decision to make but 26-year-old entrepreneur Gian Drilon took his savings and explored ways on he could start a business of his own.
He researched and read articles on online selling until he stumbled upon the Lazada selling platform.
In May 2016, he opened his first shop, Asenso Shop, where he sells products such as toys, games, and items for mothers and babies. The first few days were smoothsailing, but as months went by, it came to a point where he would get hundreds of orders a day.
His girlfriend of nine years, Reg Onglao, started helping out when she had free time after work. She does special projects for Gian, among which is to help automate processes in the business. With her help, handling the business became easier for Gian.
“Back when we started, I used to be the only full-time employee of the business handling everything — from product selection to packing. Within a few months, the orders quickly grew and became too much for me to handle alone, but like what others would say two is really better than one,” says Gian.
To date, Gian and Reg, with the help of their five employees, handle four shops aside from Asenso Shop. These are:
- Watch Me!, their main shop where they sell fashion accessories;
- Asenso Healthcare, which contains health and beauty products;
- Gold Panda, a shop under a special partneship with Lazada where they sell gold bars; and
- ZG Designs, where they offer graphic t-shirt printing.
“I have very big dreams for our Lazada stores, and I always want to keep on improving. Every month, I keep on adding more and more assortment and I also venture on new product categories. Just like my life together with Reg, our love steadily grows each day with more and more varying experiences. I dream of starting a family with her, having kids, and buying a house,” shares Gian.
By working together, their relationship and business grew together determining their mutual career plans. During Lazada’s Online Revolution Sale in 2017, the couple once received 7,000 orders in one day and this made Gian decide to take their relationship to the next level.
Gian proposed to Reg last December when he asked her to help him reboot his broken computer. When she opened it, she was surprised to see photos popping out with the question, “Will you marry me?” to which Reg replied with a sweet YES!
Through Lazada, Gian made his dream a reality. Not only does he get to spend his future with Reg, but he also is able to reach a nationwide pool of customers.
Juggling personal and business relationships altogether is no joke. “I remind myself that Reg and I are in a committed relationship—where two different people choose to become one, working together towards a common goal, and where each person complements and helps the other one grow,” shares Gian.
Gian and Reg plan to expand their business in the coming months and like them, you can do the same with Lazada Philippines’ selling platform. It offers a straightforward start-up process for merchants who want to start their own online selling business.
Selling on Lazada just takes three easy steps. Visit www.lazada.com.ph/sell-on-lazada/ to find out more.
