Petron, the country’s leading oil company, has come up with a value-packed card that rewards its loyal customers with rewards and privileges. The Petron Value Card is available to everyone who patronizes Petron products or services.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
To join, you simply need to present P500-worth of Petron receipts at any participating Petron station. The attendant will immediately process your Petron Value Card and issue it to you on-site so you can start enjoying the perks that come with the card.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
First, Petron Value Card allows you to earn points that you can use to pay for products and services at participating Petron establishments. Every P250-worth of fuel spend is worth 1-point, which has a cash value of P1.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">

You also have a P10 discount for every liter or P40 discount for every gallon of Petron automotive lubricants at participating Petron stations and car care centers. Plus, you get 5% off on SMC products at San Mig Food Ave.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
By accumulating a minimum of 5-points from the preceding month, a Petron Value Card holder is automatically covered with P10,000 personal accident insurance and P1,000 medical reimbursement from MAPFRE Insular. You are also eligible for free 24-hour towing and roadside assistance nationside from Ibero Asistencia. Certain restrictions apply for both privileges.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
To give you even more benefits, the Petron Value Card is also honored at selected business establishments so you can enjoy freebies, discounts and special offers on dining, personal care, and travel and leisure products and services. Simply present your Petron Value Card to avail of the offers.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
Inspite of the morning downpour on September 29, hundreds of motorcycle riders belonging to several Caloocan clubs trooped down to Barangay Bagumbong to join Safe T Ryders’ 5th Club Meet Up.The 5th edition was hosted and organized by BRAD Riders Club led by Jonell Miguel (nickname Migs) and Barangay Kagawad Atty. Joel Clamor. “With the growing number of motorcycles riders in our area, we are honoured to welcome the road safety team of Safe T Ryders for an afternoon of learning safety tips,” said Atty. Clamor. </div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 13px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
The road safety team is composed of Alberto Suansing, the former LTO Chief and now Secretary General of Phil Global Road Safety Partnership, Love-love Tioseco, celebrity motorcycle race driver and television personality, and Arnel Doria, founder of Safe T Ryders Training Center. “Motorcycles helmets with ICC stickers are legitimate and legal. Any enforcer who will ask for other requirements is simply after “kotong”,” said Suansing on the topic of ICC stickers. On Suansing’s invitation, DTI office of Atty. Pete Mendoza sent a team of DTI personnel to inspect motorcycle helmets and install ICC stickers at the 5th Club Meet Up. Hundred of helmets from the participants, including that of Ms. Love-love Tioseco were given ICC stickers. “ICC stickers are number coded to differentiate between helmets and other commodities like electrical tapes. Enforcers will know which stickers are for helmets, and there is stiff penalty for using wrong ICC sticker,” warned Suansing. </div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
Technicians from Prestone were also on hand to test brake fluids of motorcycles. Using a handy tool, they showed to the participants that brake fluid contaminated with water by as much as 2% will have lower boiling point, resulting to overheating of the brake system, and eventual brake failure. “The brake system is one of the most important safety feature of a motorcycle. Once it fails, it could mean life or death to the rider,” warned Dan Santiago of Prestone. As a goodwill, each participant was given a bottle of free brake fluid that they can use to top up or replace after they inspect their brake system. </div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
Present at the Club Meet Up were members from BRAD Riders, COBRA Riders, MRC "MALDITSZ", BATS, St. Apolonia Riders Club S.A.R.C, TRC "Trail Riders Club" and solo riders.</div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
The number of motorcycle users is growing in double digits. Consequently, the cases of road crashes involving motorcycles are also growing in double digits.</div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
Safe-T-Ryders is conducting a series of Bikers Club Meet-Ups to promote greater awareness among public in general, and motorcycle riders in particular. The goal is to engage organized bikers to take active part in the promotion of road safety and reduction of road mishaps. Through the network of motorcycle clubs, the road safety campaign is expected to reach as many riders as possible in spreading the mindset of road safety.</div>

Arnel Doria of Safe T Ryders conducted a short discussion on the effects of alcohol when riding. This was followed by a lively demonstration of mild and strong intoxication using the “Fatal Vision” goggles. Club members took turns trying out the goggles and doing several exercises to test their ability to carry out simple tasks like walking along a straight line and catching a ball. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #323333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; text-align: justify;">
The goggles simulate the loss of eye-and-muscle coordination due to high BAC (blood alcohol concentration) to emphasize the very damaging effects of riding under the influence of alcohol, and its severe consequences resulting in serious injuries and even death. With the growing number of road crashes resulting from riding under the influence of alcohol, Safe-T-Ryders is mounting a campaign against riding motorbikes after taking alcohol.</div>

According to Safe T Ryders founder Arnel Doria who was the head of marketing for a leading car brand, "The Club Meet-Up program is part of our advocacy to engage bikers club members in the active campaign to multiply the number of responsible and disciplined bikers. This will be a continuing program for Safe-T-Ryders Training Center and we invite corporate partners to join us in this road safety advocacy."</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i320.photobucket.com/albums/nn344/mika-fern/Petron/IMG_1915_470.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i320.photobucket.com/albums/nn344/mika-fern/Petron/IMG_1915_470.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
Boracay Island was recently named the “World’s Best Island” for 2012 by Travel + Leisure magazine, beating hall-0f-famers such as Bali (Indonesia), Galapagos, the Great Barrier Reef Islands (Australia), Santorini (Italy), and the Hawaiian Islands of Maui, Kuai and the Big Island. Readers were asked to rate the following characteristics for the Islands category: Natural attractions, activities/sights, restaurants/food, people, value, and romance (optional). Tourism figures have been similarly impressive: for the first half of 2012, foreign tourists to the island have reached 700,000, representing a 41% surge over previous year statistics.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
One of the key factors for the international acclaim that Boracay is now reaping is the two-year old Boracay Beach Management Program (BBMP), a multi-sectoral initiative for the protection, sustainability and enhancement of the island’s coastal and marine resources. Malay Mayor John P. Yap, who recognized the importance of pursuing a comprehensive strategy among various stakeholders, launched the BBMP in September 2010. This is embodied in the rallying cry: “Para Sa Boracay Ako! For Boracay I Will…”</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
Now set to celebrate its 2nd year anniversary on Saturday, 29 September 2012, the BBMP is also celebrating major milestones in its seven priority areas:</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
<b>Local Governance.</b> With strong leadership and political will, Malay Mayor John P. Yap has pushed for legislation to ensure beach cleanliness. Visitors and residents are reminded to observe municipal ordinances against littering, smoking, extracting sand and pebbles, etc. At the start of 2012, Mayor Yap led various LGU officers in a planning alignment workshop to formulate a program that will further enhance the “Boracay Experience” for tourists and locals alike.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
<b>Coastal Resources.</b> Volunteer groups continue to perform regular beach and underwater cleanup drives. Artificial reef domes are being deployed and monitored in strategic areas to revitalize marine and aquatic life along Boracay’s waters. New coral growth from the coastal </div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
nurseries are being transplanted to degraded reef areas, while mangrove swamps continue to be protected.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
<b>Watershed.</b> Under the National Greening Program, Boracay’s CENRO (Community Environment & Natural Resources Office) is committed to planting an additional 120-hectares in the watershed areas to prevent soil erosion and improve water yield for safe and potable water on the island. This is in addition to the 428-hectares of forest plantations that have been established since 2008.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
<b>Water and Waste Water. </b> Boracay’s water is certified to be safe for drinking straight from the tap, with meticulous testing to ensure that it is 100% compliant with the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water (PNSDW). It has also recently upgraded its sewage treatment facilities, where wastewater is treated to be safe for marine life and suitable for recreation activities upon discharge, complying with the Class SB Standard of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
<b>Solid Waste.</b> Boracay now has three new dump trucks for more effective garbage collection, while the materials recovery facility continues to improve the processing of residual waste. A sanitary landfill is being built as a more long-term solution to solid waste management. </div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
<b>Hazard Protection. </b> Young and dynamic volunteers man the Boracay chapter of the Philippine National Red Cross. Trained personnel, new sea patrol craft, and upgraded communications equipment all ensure that the island has sufficient capabilities to respond to emergencies and assist in disaster relief.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
<b>Information, Education & Communication. </b>Workshops, seminars and training programs have been designed for the local government units to improve quality services among all tourism frontliners and ensure that tourists have a memorable “Boracay Experience.” Social media is also being used to reach out to a wider audience through the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ForBoracay. Recently the BBMP Communications Group was also formed to publish a regular newsletter that will provide regular updates about BBMP activities.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
With its previous experience in the United Nations Development Programme's Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) framework, Petron played a key role in facilitating the formation of the BBMP. Starting out with a handful of members from the local government units, national government agencies, community organizations, youth groups and the private sector, the Boracay Beach Management Council (BBMC) now counts about 30 proponents.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
The BBMP, in a span of only two years, has become a transformative force on the island of Boracay. It is a perfect example of how a dynamic public-private partnership has worked together to create the “World’s Best Island” through environmental excellence and sustainable development.</div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Sheriff-Roman; text-align: justify;">
The BBMP proponents include: The Municipality of Malay, Aklan; San Miguel Corporation; Petron Corporation; Petron Foundation Inc.; Provincial Government of Aklan; Department of Environment & Natural Resources; Boracay Foundation Inc.; Akelco Boracay; Aklan Provincial Tourism Council; Barangays Balabag, Caticlan, Kabulihan, Manoc-Manoc & Yapak; Boracay Association of Sucba Diving Schools; Boracay Island Hopping Association; Boracay Island Water Company; Boracay Island Special Fire Protection Unit; Boracay Land Transportation Multi-Purpose Cooperative; Boracay Solid Waste Management Team; Boracay Special Tourist Police Office; Boracay Yuppies; Coast Guard Detachment-Boracay; Department of Tourism-Boracay; Islander Boracay; Kiwanis Club of Boracay; Lifeguard Boracay; Malay Auxiliary Police; Malay Farm-C; Philippine Chamber of Commerce & Industry (PCCI)-Boracay; Rotary Club of Boracay; YES FM 91.1; 605th MARPSTA (Maritime Police); and 61st 1B 31D PA Task Force Boracay.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Petron Lakbay Alalay Biyahe Para Sa Kalikasan. Gassing up at a Petron station gives you the privilege of having a tree planted in your name. Under the Petron Lakbay Alalay Para Sa Kalikasan, motorists who fuel up at any Petron station can join the "Stick it Free, Plant-a-tree" activity, wherein you can avail of a single sticker, equivalent to one tree seedling named after you during Petron's tree-planting activities. In partnership with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Philippine Army, volunteers from Petron and other groups joined together to plant trees in Cebu, Davao and Metro Manila. Some of the tree seedlings planted were hardwood (molave and narra) and fruit trees (langka and mango). In Cebu, 3,000 trees were planted last 01 June 2012 at Barangay Busay, Cebu City. This was followed on 02 June 2012 at the Davao International Airport, where 700 seedlings were planted. Finally, at the Kaliwa Watershed Forest Reserve in Sto. Niño, Tanay, Rizal, two thousand seedlings were planted last 22 June 2012.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Alberto Suansing, the former LTO Chief and now Secretary General of Phil Global Road Safety Partnership, hosted the 4th Bikers Club Meet Up held last June 30 at the Rasak Covered Gym in Tayuman, Manila. Several motorcycle clubs from Tondo, Kalookan, Navotas, Malabon, Makati and Valenzuela responded to Mr. Suansing’s invitation and spent the whole afternoon exchanging views on the current affairs of motorcycle riding.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Sul Guiabel, instructor from Safe T Ryders conducted a short discussion on the effects of alcohol when riding. This was followed by a lively demonstration of mild and strong intoxication using the “Fatal Vision” goggles. Club members took turns trying out the goggles and doing several exercises to test their ability to carry out simple tasks like walking along a straight line and catching a ball.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The goggles simulate the loss of eye-and-muscle coordination due to high BAC (blood alcohol concentration) to emphasize the very damaging effects of riding under the influence of alcohol, and its severe consequences resulting in serious injuries and even death. With the growing number of road crashes resulting from riding under the influence of alcohol, Safe-T-Ryders is mounting a campaign against riding motorbikes after taking alcohol.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">AVT, a Filipino company pioneering in vehicle navigation and multi-media devices, will once again be showcasing a new range of products at the upcoming 4th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), to be held from August 16-19, 2012, at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.</span></div>

<div style="font: 11.0px Calibri; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The latest model of the AVT personal navigation range, the AVT PN-504, will be launched at the event. Featuring a new high-resolution 5-inch LCD touchscreen, the AVT PN-504 is powered by the latest Atlas IV 533MHz CPU with a built-in high sensitivity GPS receiver that is quickly able to acquire a GPS fix in 3-minutes. In terms of functionality, the AVT PN-504 also serves as a multi-media player (MP3/MP4/WMA/WMV/AVI/3GP), a photo viewer, and offers extras such as a calculator, calendar and unit conversion.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Beyond these technical specifications, the utility of the AVT PN-504 lies in the pre-loaded Advanced Philippine Map exclusively developed by iNAV. Unique to the AVT Navigator range is improved turn-by-turn navigation with (a) junction lane assist, with an enlarged view of where you need to make the turn; (b) 3D junction view, so you get a 3D guide of which lane you should take; (c) 3D buildings, to provide landmarks for better location identification; and (d) speed camera, to warn of approaching speed cams and avoid speed violations. All AVT PN devices come with free updates for two years, so that you can update your maps with the latest changes to the country's road network.</span></div>
