EASTERN Petroleum Corporation said on Monday that its campaign against illegal refilling of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders has gained traction following a resolution issued by the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Imus, Cavite against Pryce Gases Incorporated for its unauthorized refilling of the former’s EC Gas cylinders.
