Aramco has officially opened its flagship retail station in Parañaque City, marking another step in the Saudi energy company’s growing presence in the Philippine fuel retail market.

Located along Dr. Arcadio Santos Avenue, the new station serves as Aramco’s flagship site in the country as the company plans to expand its network while bringing its global brand closer to Filipino motorists. The inauguration was attended by Aramco and Unioil executives, partners, and guests, who gathered to celebrate the opening of the facility.

Ceremonial first fuel fill up led by Saudi Aramco's Vice President of Retail, Ziyad Al Juraifani.

The station offers gasoline and diesel fuels, as well as its Valvoline oils, along with a modern forecourt designed to provide a convenient refueling experience. It also features retail and customer amenities aimed at serving motorists along one of Metro Manila’s busiest corridors.

The opening comes less than a year after Aramco completed its acquisition of a 25% equity stake in Unioil Petroleum Philippines and Unioil Energy, giving the Saudi energy giant a strategic foothold in one of the country’s largest independent fuel companies.

Aramco said three to four additional Aramco-branded fuel stations are already under construction, with more sites expected to open in the coming years as the company expands its local network.

Founded more than 90 years ago as the California-Arabian Standard Oil Company, Aramco has grown into one of the world’s largest integrated energy and chemicals companies. It was nationalized by Saudi Arabia over several decades before becoming Saudi Aramco in 1988. Today, the company operates across the entire energy value chain, from oil and gas exploration and production to refining, petrochemicals, and fuel retail, with operations spanning multiple continents.

Aramco also remains one of the world’s largest crude oil producers and exporters and has consistently ranked among the most valuable publicly listed companies by market capitalization. The company supplies energy to customers across Asia, Europe, and North America, and its expansion into the Philippine fuel retail market forms part of its broader push to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia.

For existing Unioil customers, Aramco confirmed that fuel stations carrying the Aramco brand will continue to honor the fuel discounts available to S&R members. Motorists simply need to present their S&R membership card when refueling at participating Aramco stations.
