TOP Line Fuels Northern Cebu’s Moto Boom: Eight Revamped Light Fuels Express Stations Add 1M Liters in Monthly Capacity
Top Line Business Development Corp. (TOP), a dynamic player in the Philippine fuel retail sector, has fully operationalized its first cluster of renovated and rebranded stations in Northern Cebu. The eight Light Fuels Express outlets, now at peak performance, are poised to pump up to 1 million liters of fuel monthly, capitalizing on the region’s motorcycle-dominated market where two-wheelers claim about 80% of demand.
Spanning key municipalities including Medellin, Bogo, Daanbantayan, Tabogon, Sogod, Borbon, Catmon, and Carmen, Cluster 1 marks a pivotal step in TOP’s systematic rollout. This initiative transforms an acquired network into a streamlined, customer-centric brand under the efficient Light Fuels Express format, blending quick-service fueling with expansion-ready infrastructure. Targeted sales for the cluster range from 800,000 to 1,000,000 liters per month, injecting fresh momentum into TOP’s operations across Cebu, Leyte, Siquijor, and Negros Oriental.
Brigitte Carmel Lapasaran Lim, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the strategic edge: “The completion of our Cluster 1 renovation shows how we maintain quality in our acquisitions, reflecting our disciplined approach to optimize each station to operate at full capacity while maintaining efficiency and service quality. This cluster-based rollout allows us to scale systematically and capture demand in high-growth markets like Northern Cebu.”
More than mere fuel stops, these stations are evolving into vibrant hubs for motorists. Each features an Automated Motor Wash system that cleans motorcycles in just three minutes, paired with innovative water recycling systems to promote sustainability and resource efficiency. This fusion of convenience, speed, and environmental responsibility positions Light Fuels Express as a go-to destination for the everyday rider in a market buzzing with two-wheeled traffic.
The rebranding not only unifies TOP’s identity but also fortifies its competitive footprint amid rising demand. Unrenovated stations continue generating revenue seamlessly, while Clusters 2, 3, and 4 are on track for completion by year-end 2026, promising further network expansion and revenue uplift.
TOP’s methodical growth underscores its commitment to operational excellence and market adaptation, fueling both economic vitality in Northern Cebu and long-term shareholder value from its Cebu Business Park headquarters (19F Latitude Corporate Center, Mindanao Avenue; Contact: (032) 505 6058).
