History
Phoenix was originally incorporated on May 8, 2002 as Oilink Mindanao Distribution, Inc., and changed its name in January 2004 to Davao Oil Terminal Services Corporation (DOTSCO). The small family business began operations in its current form thereon, distributing petroleum products to various commercial entities in Mindanao.
In 2006, the company was renamed Phoenix Petroleum Philippines, Inc. and introduced lubricants and car care products to its product line.
It became a publicly listed company on July 11, 2007, offering 25% of its total outstanding shares to the public. Phoenix Petroleum became the first independent oil company to be listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange after the Oil Deregulation Law was passed in 1998. Phoenix Petroleum also became the first company from Davao City to go public. In 2008, the oil company opened its first Manila station in Marikina.
The Social Security System acquired up to 9.68 percent stake in Phoenix Petroleum in 2009, from its initial 2.78 percent.[1]
In 2016, Phoenix acquired the franchise of Barako Bull Energy in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).[2] Prior to this, Phoenix participated in the PBA D-League in 2016 as the Phoenix Petroleum Accelerators. The Phoenix PBA franchise is playing currently as the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters.
In 2017, Phoenix entered the LPG industry after acquiring Petronas Energy Philippines Inc., which became what is now Phoenix LPG Philippines, Inc.
In 2018, Phoenix has completed its acquisition of the Philippine franchise of the convenience store chain FamilyMart, from Ayala Corporation, Rustan's Group and ITOCHU Corporation.[3][4] This even led to establishing FamilyMart branches at select Phoenix stations.
On January 22, 2024, Phoenix announced that it temporarily halted importation of diesel and gasoline products since March 2023 due to price volatilities.[5]
By July 27, 2021, Phoenix Petroleum announced the "free gas for life" incentive for Hidilyn Diaz. The announcement came via a statement from the Siklab Atleta Pilipinas Sports Foundation, which is backed by Phoenix Petroleum quoting, "After winning the first-ever gold medal for the Philippines at the Tokyo Olympics, Hidilyn Diaz will be given Php 5 million, and free fuel for life by long-time supporter and third largest oil company in the country, Phoenix Petroleum through Siklab Atleta Pilipinas Sports Foundation, Inc., an initiative launched in 2018."
