Key players in the oil industry have committed to implementing the rules of a new law regulating the LPG sector as the government intensifies its drive against counterfeit tanks. | MegINQ /PDI

They made this commitment on the sidelines of the LPG Philippines Summit in Pasay City, a nationwide information campaign led by the Department of Energy aimed at educating consumers about Republic Act No. 11592, or the LPG Industry Regulation Act.

“We are one with the government during this information campaign because we need to inform industry players on their responsibilities and obligations. This will help improve the LPG industry,” said Mercedita Pastrana, executive director of LPGIA. Similarly, Petron Corp. noted that the law would “significantly change and elevate the standards by which businesses operate in the LPG industry.”

RA 11592, enacted in October 2021, intensifies penalties on illegal refilling and improper transport of LPG tanks, the sale of low-quality and defective cylinders, and operating without a business permit from the DOE.
