GENERAL SANTOS CITY — The provincial government of South Cotabato is set to sign a sales agreement with Petron Corporation for the establishment of a refueling station in nearby Koronadal City. | |||
South Cotabato Gov. Arthur Pingoy Jr. said Thursday the agreement, which would pave the way for the opening of a Petron Bulilit Station in the area, is mainly aimed at addressing the local government’s problems on the lack of stable fuel supplies for its motor pool. | |||
The governor said he recently met with representatives of Petron to finalize the details of the agreement and plans for the operationalization of the refueling station, the construction of which is slated by next month. | |||
“The agreement will not only solve our fuel needs but at the same time generate some income for us,” he said. | |||
Under the agreement, Pingoy said the Petron refueling station will mainly serve the provincial government and other government agencies in the area. | |||
He said the other government agencies may avail of the refueling station’s services through a formal request to the local government. | |||
Pingoy said the provincial government will provide the site while Petron will shoulder all the costs for the construction of the refueling station, which will be established in Barangay Morales in Koronadal City. | |||
Through the refueling station, he said the fluctuation of fuel prices will no longer be a problem for the local government since Petron will be selling its products at the dealer’s price. | |||
He said the provincial government stands to earn a profit of P2 per every liter of fuel that would be dispensed by the refueling station. | |||
“Based on our estimates, we’ll be earning around P2.4 million annually,” the governor added. (PNA) | |||
