30 August 2022 – Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation signed up as a main partner in Makati Business Club’s Business For Biking Program, which aims to support bike commuters — and the businesses they work for and patronize — via infrastructure and policy initiatives. Pilipinas Shell Country Head Lorelie Quiambao-Osial and MBC Chairman Edgar O. Chua signed the agreement.

The Business For Biking Program was launched by MBC in January 2021 with generous funding from the Embassy of the Netherlands. The program engages with government, business, and civil society organizations to develop a bike-friendly environment across the Philippines. 

This partnership helps MBC continue engaging with government, businesses, and advocacy groups to promote active and sustainable transportation, with bike-friendly infrastructure initiatives and other activities down the pipeline. MBC included biking in its ongoing discussions with new cabinet secretaries, particularly the Department of Transportation and the Department of Public Works and Highways.
