iFUEL, the petroleum company of iFRANCHISE Business Services Corporation, is gearing towards innovation and modern processes, opened its first co-owned gasoline station in Baliuag, Bulacan on February 12, 2021. Present during the launch is the honorable mayor of Baliuag, Bulacan, Ferdinand Estrella who was very pleased with the establishment of iFUEL branch in his municipality as it signals economic growth and employment opportunities for his constituents.   

This new business arising in Bulacan is helping the province create more jobs and open vacancies for employment amid the ongoing pandemic.
