Binatak siguro yung S kaya nawala...ooops nawala lng pala ilaw Shell products have been at the service of the Filipino consumer for more than a century. Shell kerosene first reached the country in 1897. Shells corporate presence in the Philippines dates back to 1914 when Shell organized a trading office in the Philippines. Business then largely involved the importation and sale of kerosene mainly for household use in Manila and outlying areas. By 1940, spurred by the growing Philippine economy, a sizeable range of Shell products was being sold to more areas in the Philippines through installations and depots set up in strategic points throughout the country. In 1960, Shell built its first crude refinery in Tabangao, Batangas, which commenced operations in 1962. This made Shell a complete downstream business engaged not only in trading, transport and distribution, but also in the manufacture and refining of petroleum products. The birth of the refining era was accompanied by further business expansion. Shell pursued interests in the marketing of chemicals and crop protection products to support the fast growth in the agricultural sector during the 1960s. In the late 1970s, Shell began its involvement in upstream activities (oil and gas exploration and production) to reduce the countrys dependence on imported oil. To meet the rising demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Asia, Shell began in the early 1980s the construction of a refrigerated LPG terminal that would supply domestic LPG needs of the Philippines and its Asian neighbours. The first of its kind in Asia, Shells refrigerated LPG terminal began operations in 1983
