The modern workplace is constantly evolving. While in the past, interior designers focused on creating spaces that promote utmost concentration through formal, almost rigid layouts, these days the trend is to create flexible workspaces that promote teamwork and interaction among employees.
Agility underpins the design concept for the newly renovated corporate offices of AXA Philippines at the GT Tower in Makati City. Aptly called AXA Home, the newly unveiled facility promises to be a people-centric workplace that is conducive for collaboration and creativity among its occupants. This is a key part of the One AXA vision – the constant process of redefining and transforming systems to improve operations for the ultimate benefit of employees and customers.
Inspired by native materials and motifs, AXA Home has an overall look that is “proudly Filipino with a modern twist.” AXA incorporated local designs of handwoven textiles, artistically crafted rattan, and sturdy wooden furniture and decor. They are artfully blended with industrial design elements in key areas, notably in the “plazas,” the main hubs for collaboration.
In addition to the more artistic and revitalized appearance and feel of AXA Home, a comprehensive space plan was also implemented, which deliberately veered away from the traditional office set-up. Instead, the AXA Home promotes openness, collaboration, and efficiency, particularly in the use of space.
Another key feature of the AXA Home is innovation, manifested in the addition of two new rooms: the Innovation Hub and the Social Media Command Center. The Social Media Command Center, featuring state-of-the-art facilities, aims to boost AXA Philippines’ online presence, as well as to increase positive sentiments in the digital space. The Innovation Room, meanwhile, is an area where people from different teams can collaborate and conceptualize innovations that can help them attain their business goals.
AXA Home aims to provide a space where everyone feels welcome, with boundaries and divisions removed to foster a real sense of community.

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.
2. What exactly is Phoenix PULSE Technology?
Phoenix PULSE Technology is a fuel additive with advanced cleaning and protection properties for enhanced power and acceleration.
3. How was this formulation made?
Phoenix PULSE Technology was developed by world-class fuel experts using cutting-edge fuel technology
4. What can it do for my car?
Phoenix PULSE Technology has three main benefits:
- It avoids fuel filter blockage for diesel-powered vehicles.
- It removes deposits from fuel injectors, valves, and piston surfaces.
- It provides engine protection.
All these help result to better fuel economy when used continuously.
5. How does it help result to enhanced power and acceleration?
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.
Below is the official press release from Phoenix introducing their latest innovation, Phoenix Pulse Technology.
