Shell engineers Peter Doping and Niño Navarro, had been among the Filipino talents who had shown the world that their skill set and quality of service go beyond their mandate in the workplace – extending that service at mentoring young Filipinos “on how to help secure a sustainable and inclusive future for the Philippines,” and at the same time, etch their footprint of excellence in the world.

As engineers in the country’s mammoth commercial gas field, Doping and Navarro have been entrusted with that formidable task of ensuring continuous gas supply for more than 3,200 megawatts of power capacity in the country’s biggest power grid of Luzon, which is also the economic center of the Philippines.

But in carrying out such overwhelming duty in their chosen profession, the two Malampaya engineers had gone beyond their usual call of duty.
