Consistent with its objective of providing quality fuel for less for every motorist, independent oil company Cleanfuel has recently opened its fifth gasoline station located in Mabalacat, Pampanga.
Situated along the busy stretch of McArthur Highway, Barangay Mabiga, Mabalacat, Pampanga, the new station was opened last December 19, a few days before Christmas.
“The opening of Cleanfuel Mabalacat Station shows that we are committed to help the City of Mabalacat and the nearby areas and proves our confidence in the resiliency of the Filipino people and the local economy of Pampanga despite the challenges that our nation has encountered in 2020 as we all look forward for a better year ahead,” said Cleanfuel president Atty. Bong Suntay.

After nine months, a total truck ban on six-wheelers and up from EDSA Magallanes in Pasay to North Avenue in Quezon City with window hours set on other major thoroughfares is enforced.
