Castrol and North Trend Marketing Corporation has successfully held NATCON 2025: Always Forward with Castrol at the Hilton Manila. This annual gathering brings together business partners, industry leaders and stakeholders to reflect on achievements, strengthen partnerships and talk about the future.
One of the highlights of the event was a film about the Castrol brand. The film showcased the company’s 125-year journey of innovation. It showed how Castrol has grown beyond just lubricants, now focusing on sustainability, digital transformation and new business opportunities.
The event includes interactive activities that encourage teamwork and bring people together. Guests took part fun in challenges that tested creativity, collaboration and problem-solving — values that are also essential in business.
One of the key moments of the night was the awards ceremony, where Castrol honored its top business partners for their contributions in 2024. North Trend Marketing’s senior leaders — Jeffrey L. Ang, Ronald L. Ang, Emily Jane Ang Quilacio, Grace Lao-Torrejas and Sherwin Sebastian — presented the awards to recognize the dedication and leadership of their partners.
“Our business partners are at the core of Castrol’s success,” Emily Jane Ang Quilacio, CFO of North Trend Marketing, said.
“Their hard work and commitment have been instrumental in driving growth, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements tonight.”
Jeffrey L. Ang, CEO of North Trend Marketing, reflected on the company’s success in 2024 and the exciting road ahead. He emphasized that strong partnerships and a shared vision are key to achieving future goals.
“We are not just business partners. We are a coalition of wills and capabilities — a team ready to achieve our must-win battles together. I am confident that with our collective efforts, we will not only meet but exceed our goals for 2025 and beyond,” Ang said.
