Controversy can strike at any moment in the world of tattoo artists and professionals.

This blog post explores the recent controversy surrounding Phoenix Petroleum and their fuel incentive program with Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz.

The Controversy Erupts

In March 2022, Phoenix Petroleum announced a lifetime fuel incentive for Hidilyn Diaz, who had just won the country's first Olympic gold medal. However, the incentive was not as generous as initially reported. According to Diaz's manager, Noel Ferrer, the incentive was only valid for two years, not a lifetime supply of fuel. This discrepancy sparked outrage on social media, with many accusing Phoenix Petroleum of not upholding their end of the deal.

Phoenix Responds to the Backlash

In response to the controversy, Phoenix Petroleum released a statement clarifying the situation. According to the company, they had donated fuel to Diaz in March 2022, and she was asked to share her experience with their donation online. However, she declined, citing her recent partnership with another petroleum company. Phoenix Petroleum expressed disappointment that this matter was raised publicly by Diaz's manager before any direct communication or clarification with the company.
