Leading liquified petroleum gas (LPG) brand, Petron Corporation introduces another innovative product in the Home LPG Category with the launch of its new Petron Gasul Elite Composite Cylinder, a new type of container that is superior to regular steel cylinders.
Petron Gasul had always been a trusted brand among the Filipino household because of its safety, quality, and authenticity--it's been long recognized as the gold standard for Home LPG users. The new Petron Gasul Elite sets the bar even higher by introducing the most significant enhancement in LPG packaging since the 1970s.
Petron Gasul Elite is a premium LPG brand that offers the following advantages:
EXPLOSION-PROOF. The composite high-strength material is made from a mixture of fiberglass or carbon fibers and a plastic resin. Safety is enhanced as there is no risk of BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion).
RUST-PROOF. The cylinder is non-corrosive and will not rust. Thus, it will not stain kitchen floors or cabinets and other surfaces.
LIGHTWEIGHT. An unfilled Petron Gasul Elite cylinder weighs 5.45kg, more than 50% lighter than an unfilled regular steel tank that is 13kg.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN. Its ergonomic Viking-head design offers a better grip for easier handling.
TRANSLUCENT. Thanks to translucent windows on the cylinder, end users can visually check and monitor the LPG level inside the Petron Gasul Elite.
The all-new Petron Gasul Elite was launched at the recently-concluded World Food Expo (WOFEX), held at the Megatrade Hall of SM Megamall last November 11 -13. Dubbed as the "ultimate food show experience," WOFEX brings together all the segments of the food and beverage industry. The Petron Gasul Elite showcase at what is acknowledged to be the biggest and most effective trade show in the country allowed visitors to see and experience the best Gasul ever.
As part of its public launch, the Petron Facebook page also featured six Petron Gasul Elite posts, which garnered over 113,000 impressions and 7,400 (6.5%) engagement.
Petron Gasul users who want only the best can trade in their old 11kg steel tank for a new Petron Gasul Elite composite cylinder for an introductory price of only Php 2,500 (not including LPG refill and regulator). The premium brand is initially available in Metro Manila through the Petron Express Delivery service — simply dial #88000 or send a text message to 0917-878-8000. It is expected to roll out to Petron Gasul authorized dealers nationwide by December 2021.
The goal of diabetes management is to keep blood glucose levels as close to normal as safely possible. Since diabetes may greatly increase the risk for heart disease and peripheral artery disease, measures to control blood pressure and cholesterol levels are an essential part of diabetes treatment as well.
People with diabetes must take responsibility for their day-to-day care. This includes monitoring blood glucose levels, dietary management, maintaining physical activity, keeping weight and stress under control, monitoring oral medications and, if required, insulin use via injections or pumps.
It was in 2015 that I first learned I had diabetes mellitus. Prior to that, I wasn’t aware I was diabetic. In fact, I accidentally found out about my health right after my right eye bled and I started seeing “floaters.” It turned out I already had diabetic retinopathy. I had my damaged eye undergo two laser treatments/pan-retinal photocoagulation treatment. Unfortunately, the retina on my right eye has been severely damaged and is already irreversible.
My endocrinologist says diabetes may lead to a whole lot of complications. But he insisted that although it is not treatable, it is a manageable health condition. For him, it’s just a matter of healthy living along with a huge change of lifestyle. I know it sounds simple but it is actually difficult to do.

Prostate cancer is one of the top 5 cancers in the Philippines and the ninth highest in the number of cancer-related deaths among Filipino males according to GLOBOCAN. Despite the statistics, awareness of the disease is very low.
The Philippine Urological Association (PUA), together with the Department of Health (DOH), Cancer Warriors Foundation, Inc., the Philippine Society of Uro-Oncologists (PSUO), and Johnson and Johnson (Philippines), Inc., led the observance of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month with a series of activities that aimed to generate greater awareness for the disease. With the unified theme Prostate Cancer Sama-Samang Labanan, Tamang Impormasyon Kailangan, efforts were focused on educating the public on the importance of early detection and treatment to slow the progression of prostate cancer.
A lay forum entitled Usapang Prostate Cancer was live-streamed via the PUA Prostate Cancer Awareness Facebook page on September 11 to underline truths about the disease. Representatives from the Department of Health Cancer Control Division and Cancer Warriors Foundation, Inc. also joined the discussion to share what support the government and privately funded organizations can provide patients and their families. This was followed by free teleconsultations by members of the Philippine Urological Association and the Philippine Urology Residents Association last September 18. More than 300 Filipino males signed up for the free teleconsultation service.
