                    [Summary] => Publicly listed Petron Corp. is expected to start the construction of a P6-billion isomerization plant and a gasoil hydrotreater early this year as part of its commitment to meet requirements of the Clean Air Act.


Petron said, that if they proceed according to schedule, the project would go one line by 2003.


However, the company said they are not sure when the project will actually go on full blast since the unfavorable business climate has made the sourcing of its investments uncertain.

Executive Director Klaus Toepfer of the United Nations Environmental Programme
has sent a congratulatory message to the Philippines for outlawing the use of
leaded gas in Metro Manila. April is Earth Day Month and we started the
celebration by implementing the Clean Air Act.

Lead additives increased the octane rating of gasoline and this was conducive
to the development of modern high compression gasoline engines.

Take a deep breath.

Starting tomorrow, leaded gasoline will be phased out in Metro Manila pumping
stations to pave the way for the implementation of the Clean Air Act in July,
the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) said yesterday.

"The quality of the air in Metro Manila will improve.

By tomorrow, leaded gasoline will be history in Metro Manila. This is one of
the results of the Clean Air Act, which aims to reduce the amount of toxic
substances blanketing many parts of the country. The oil companies have
developed unleaded gasoline that can be used even by old-model vehicles that
have always used regular gasoline. 

There will be some improvement in the quality of the air we breathe, but don't
expect the smog to lift.

Leaded gasoline users will have no choice but to change to unleaded petrol by
April Fool's day. 

The impending change is part of the agreement signed by the government and oil
companies to rid the country of leaded gas as required by the Clean Air Act of
1999.

Undersecretary Ben Hur Salcedo of the Department of Energy (DOE) said yesterday
motorists and transport industry members have nothing to worry about as they
can easily switch from leaded to unleaded gasoline.
