The Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) is a government-owned oil and gas entity established in 1973 under Presidential Decree No. 334, created in response to the country’s energy crisis. Its core mandate is to ensure an adequate and stable supply of oil and petroleum products for domestic use while fostering exploration, research, and development across its subsidiaries and areas of responsibility. Based in Metro Manila, PNOC operates as a state-led conduit for energy security and development, coordinating activities across its energy portfolio. Its activities are aimed at serving the Philippine market and national energy needs, with the government as its primary stakeholder. A notable recent development is the June 2026 Memorandum of Understanding with the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore to explore capacity-building and deepen collaboration in the energy sector.
