The summer season heralds the start of an annual tradition among thousands of Filipino families traveling to the provinces in observance of Holy week. In preparation  Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation wants to provide motorists and travelers heading North and South  of Luzon access to clean hygienic toilets for their comfort during the yearly exodus.
Leading the clean up is Unilever Philippines Marketing Director for Home Care Jay Go and Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Vice President for Retail Anthony Lawrence Yam.

Travelling during peak seasons introduces heightened risks of acquiring diseases, and some of the possible sources are poorly sanitized public restrooms that travelers may use along the way. Gas stations along major roads become the necessary stop-over points for commuters and private motorists, resulting in the crowded and busy use of comfort rooms and other facilities.

In support of the 1 million Clean Toilets advocacy Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation submit their corporate pledge for clean toilets and continue to execute proper toilet sanitation throughout the year.
