CHEVRON REITERATES COMMITMENT TO RP GROWTH  

03 December 2008 – Mr. Peter J. Robertson, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Chevron, called on Philippine
Ambassador to the United States, Willy C. Gaa, to convey the continued support of Chevron for the economic
growth of the Philippines.  Mr. Robertson said that Chevron welcomes the passage of the Renewable
Energy Act of 2007, saying that this will greatly boost the partnership between Chevron and the Philippines
in the area of energy development and security.



Mr. Robertson extended Chevron’s appreciation to the Philippine Government for its continued support of its
activities in the country.  Chevron’s presence in the Philippines, according to Mr. Robertson, is primarily in
four areas: 1) Malampaya gas production; 2) geothermal; 3) shared-services; and 4) marketing.  Through its
operation in the Philippines and Indonesia, Chevron is now considered the world’s largest geothermal-
producing company.



Ambassador Gaa likewise thanked Chevron for the socio-civic work being extended by Chevron and its
partners in the Philippines.  In this regard, Mr. Robertson highlighted the unwavering advocacy of Chevron
values in partnering with communities, citing Chevron’s immediate response to the creation of the Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria – a US$30 million endowment, which will be equally spread
over six countries to fight these infectious diseases.  In the Philippines, which is to receive US$5 million
from the Chevron grant, through the Tropical Disease Foundation, tuberculosis mitigation and prevention
programs will benefit.

Before concluding the call, Mr. Robertson emphasized that the Philippines remains an important and
strategic partner of Chevron in the region.
