“As the national carrier flying the flag of the Republic, PAL occupies a special place in the hearts and minds of Filipinos around the world. But beyond its iconic status, PAL is one of the true pillars of the Philippine economy,” shared PAL Chairman Dr. Lucio Tan.

Joy of travel

Indeed, the country’s official flag carrier has not only allowed Filipinos to experience the joys of flying and traveling to destinations thousands of miles away, but has also been instrumental in showcasing to the rest of the world what the country and the Filipinos have to offer.

PAL’s international flights have enabled foreign tourists to have a peek at some of the country’s best kept secrets, while showcasing to them the Filipinos’ unique and highly commendable brand of service.

With a ready smile, unmatched hospitality, and service with a heart, PAL continues to be a true embodiment of the Filipino heart and spirit, effectively trumpeting to the world what Filipinos are made of.
