Despite this being an unprecedented time of uncertainty and difficulty, Filipinos are not powerless. and as long as everyone thinks of and moves for each other, the Philippines will bounce back.
This was the general sentiment of Pilipinas Shell Vice President for Retail Randy Del Valle as the nation celebrated this year’s Independence Day. With both the public and private sector standing together in solidarity during the pandemic, the nation is once again kindling the hope for a better tomorrow.
Hold on to hope this Independence Day
In celebration of 122 years of independence, Pilipinas Shell forecourt staff, modern-day heroes who work to support the community, share origami doves for every guest in selected Shell gas stations. These doves have a simple message of hope that reveals itself when you assemble the origami.
“Everything we have witnessed through the Filipino has given us reason to hope that the country will continue to bounce back and move forward,” said Del Valle. “There is a lot more that we need to do as individuals and as communities for a better tomorrow. That’s why it’s important for us to hold onto this newfound hope. Let this origami dove serve as a reminder of this.”
Del Valle emphasized the importance of Filipinos taking care of each other during this extraordinary time. Simple acts of kindness, such as lending a space in your car for other commuters or even a small gesture like sanitizing a shopping cart after you use it, can inspire others to be more compassionate.
Make the most out of fueling up with Shell’s bounce back offers

To keep themselves safe on the road, customers may also continue to bring their vehicles to Shell Helix Oilchange+ Lube Bays for regular maintenance. All mechanics and receptionists have been briefed on the company’s safety procedures and will thoroughly disinfect vehicles and other touchpoints both before and after each maintenance transaction.
