Leading independent oil company Phoenix Petroleum Philippines recently committed to adopt a Philippine Eagle for five years in support for its advocacy on environmental conservation.
Phoenix Petroleum and the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) signed the commitment for the five year adoption on September 25, 2012 at the Phoenix Bulk Depot in Davao City.
The project is part of Philippine Eagle Foundation, Inc.’s wildlife conservation initiatives to replenish the wild eagle population now threatened with extinction.
“As a Davao-born company, Phoenix Petroleum Philippines has always been committed to support projects that benefit the city, from environment, education, and health. The Philippine Eagle represents Davao, and it is only fitting that we help in its conservation,” Phoenix Petroleum President and CEO Dennis Uy said.
Philippine Eagle Foundation, Inc. Executive Director Dennis Salvador expressed his gratitude to Phoenix Petroleum.
“We need the support of the private sector, specifically in the case of the ‘Phoenix’ Eagle that is under our Conservation Breeding Program. We hope that Phoenix’s adoption reflects the company’s continuing concern for Mindanao and its forests. We welcome Phoenix Petroleum and look forward to a long and productive partnership with them,” Salvador said.
Under the agreement, Phoenix Petroleum will grant an annual cash donation of P125,000 to be used to take care of the needs of the eagle, the operation and maintenance of the eagle’s breeding facility, and the associated conservation research and campaigns of PEF.
The adopted eagle is named “Phoenix” and was previously known as “Sultan,” a 15-year old male eagle that arrived in 2005 from Sultan Kudarat. He was introduced to another eagle, Zamboanga, in 2007. PEF describes the breeding as having “good progress.”
The Philippine Eagle adoption is a commitment of Phoenix Petroleum as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility for the environment. Other core CSR programs of the company are Education, Health and Safety, and Outreach.
Phoenix Petroleum Philippines is the leading independent oil company with an expanding network of operations nationwide. It is engaged in the business of trading refined petroleum products and lubricants, operation of oil depots, and storage and transport services.
