                    [Summary] => Government has been urged to lure China’s state-run China Petroleum and Chemical Corp. (Sinopec) to put up an oil refinery in the Philippines to help ensure that the country’s long-term demand for finished petroleum products is adequately met.


Catanduanes Rep. Joseph Santiago, reacting to Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp.’s reported plan to shut down its refinery in the country by 2008 due to low margins, said that if Shell wants out, then government should consider asking the Chinese, through Sinopec or any other entity, to build an oil refinery here.
