Shell Mekaniko League 2025 Crowns Shell Advance Masters and Shell Helix Champions National Winners

Manila, Philippines — September 2025. Shell Pilipinas Corporation has brought the Shell Mekaniko League 2025 to a triumphant close, marking a milestone in the country’s automotive industry. For the first time, motorcycle and car experts came together under one national platform, with more than 2,000 participants from 26 provinces joining Shell’s largest mechanic competition to date.

From its kickoff in March to the Grand Finale at Le Pavillon in Pasay City, the Mekaniko League combined high-level competition with practical skills development. At every stage, participants attended Shell-led training sessions and TESDA-certified modules that prepared them for NC I and NC II certifications, strengthening their credentials and expanding livelihood opportunities. Semi-finalists were tested in written exams, parts identification, and live repair challenges that mirror workshop realities. Semi-final winners each received ₱50,000 and advanced to the Grand Finale.

At the Grand Finale, champions from across the country faced off in an electrifying showdown. Mark Anthony Calimag (Quezon City) was crowned the Shell Helix Auto Mekaniko Champions 2025 National Champion, while Charlie Sandoval (Caloocan City) earned the title of Shell Advance Masters 2025 National Champion. Each champion received ₱200,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Malaysia to witness MotoGP, accompanied by other top finalists. The Top 5 car mechanics and Top 3 motorcycle mechanics also earned the chance to join the champions on the MotoGP experience.

“What began in 2024 with a handful of regional runs has grown into a true nationwide movement that celebrates the grit, craftsmanship, and livelihood of Filipino mekanikos,” said Jackie Famorca, Vice President and General Manager for Lubricants at Shell Pilipinas Corporation. “Through the Mekaniko League we combine competition with certification — giving mechanics the recognition and skills that matter on the job.”

“Seeing the passion and commitment of our motorcycle mechanics is inspiring,” said Brian Landicho, TESDA Competency Assessor for Small Engine Servicing NC2. “TESDA supports Shell Advance’s efforts to raise industry standards through certified training.”


Shell Advance: Powering Motorcycle Skills and Livelihoods
For Shell Advance, the Mekaniko League is a strategic platform to uplift motorcycle mechanics — the frontline technicians who keep riders safe and mobile. The Shell Advance Masters track emphasized hands-on skill development, diagnostics, and best workshop practices tailored to 
small-engine servicing. Beyond trophies and cash prizes, the League delivers accredited training, stronger credentials, and real economic opportunities for participants and their communities.

Building the Mekaniko Industry in the Philippines

The Shell Mekaniko League complements Shell’s broader programs to professionalize mekaniko work through hands-on training, TESDA partnerships, and the trusted performance of Shell Advance and Shell Helix engine oils. These efforts aim to ensure safer roads, better livelihoods, and higher service standards across the country.

Kindly visit the official sites of Shell Advance and Shell Helix engine oils to learn how these products deliver trusted performance and protection for every journey.

GCash Sparks Dialogue at the Pulse 2025 on Role of AI in helping MSMEs Grow their Business


As more and more Filipino businesses turn to digital solutions to streamline operations, digital leaders are prioritizing technologies that enable them to grow their business and reach new markets.

This shift was the central focus at Pulse 2025: B2B Innovation & Leadership Forum, organized by Asticom, a leading shared services and tech solutions company. Held at Shangri-La The Fort, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, the forum brought together business leaders, technologists, and decision-makers from across industries to explore how responsible AI, platform partnerships, and digital transformation are redefining the business landscape in the Philippines.

Among the leading voices at the event was GCash, the country’s top finance superapp. G-Xchange Inc., (the mobile wallet operator of GCash) president and CEO Ren-ren Reyes, along with Jong Layug, general manager for GCash for Business, shared how the platform is evolving beyond consumer finance to drive financial empowerment and provide enterprise-scale solutions.

During one of the fireside chats, Reyes emphasized that the core purpose of GCash extends to both individual users and the broader enterprise landscape. He said, “Whether it's a consumer reloading RFID or a company streamlining collections, we aim to remove pain points through digital tools. Every efficiency gained contributes to a stronger, more empowered economy.”

He also addressed the question of emerging technologies, such as AI, and how GCash filters them through a practical lens:

“We don’t adopt tech for tech’s sake. We ask, does this solve a real problem? If it doesn’t, it’s not worth the distraction. If it does, we scale it in a way that’s intuitive and secure for our users. In the end, at the heart of GCash is our vision—Finance for All. We help Filipinos establish a digital identity and financial footprint, bringing them into the formal system. That small step unlocks services they never thought possible before.”

Noting the crucial role of B2B partnerships and how they’re foundational to GCash’s growth model, Layug shared how GCash has been expanding its enterprise focus through ecosystem collaboration and scalable solutions.


“If something defines who we are, we build it. If speed is critical and others can do it better, we partner. Either way, we always test side by side to ensure we’re delivering the best outcome. We’ve always solved for the Filipino consumer. Now we’re applying the same mindset to businesses—creating tools that remove friction, improve cash flow, and simplify interactions between brands and their customers.”

Also present at the event were industry leaders from McDonald’s Philippines, Globe, Google Philippines, Microsoft Philippines, LinkedIn, Entrego, and other key players in digital innovation and enterprise transformation.

The event was part of Asticom’s 10th anniversary celebration, marking a decade of enabling businesses through shared services, workforce solutions, and technology-driven innovation. Asticom supports organizations in scaling operations and navigating transformation by delivering smart, people-centered business solutions.

As GCash deepens its engagement with the B2B sector through responsible AI, scalable partnerships, and customer-first innovation, it reinforces its mission to support smarter, more inclusive business growth across the Philippines.
