Filipino Olympic and Paralympic athletes were celebrated and honored at an exclusive dinner hosted by Philippine Airlines (PAL) in partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) at the Century Park Hotel. This event marks a significant send-off as the athletes prepare to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympic Games.
The Paris-bound athletes were given personalized commemorative pilot pins and Mabuhay Miles in recognition of their efforts and achievements before raising the Philippine flag in the most prestigious sporting event in the world. PAL also pledged to award additional Mabuhay Miles to those bringing home an Olympic or Paralympic medal.
During the dinner, PAL also launched the “PRs Go Further” campaign, spotlighting the Filipinos’ unbending fighting spirit. Taking inspiration from “PR,” which usually denotes a PAL flight number, this campaign will highlight the personal records Filipino Olympic and Paralympic athletes were able to achieve and how these fuel their drive to go further.
PAL’s partnership with PSC is the first of many initiatives that will show PAL’s commitment to supporting the country’s top athletes.
“PAL has always been our dedicated supporter when it comes to the welfare of all athletes. The public trust they also hold proved their commitment of providing outstanding service and excellent assistance at all times,” said PSC Chairman Richard Bachmann.
With its partnership with PSC and its campaign in support of Filipino athletes, PAL reaffirms its commitment to showcase the best of the Philippines in the skies as the country’s premier flag carrier.
“Our athletes exemplify Filipino excellence and as such, the best ambassadors of the Philippines in the global stage. As the flag carrier, it is both an honor and responsibility to support them as they represent all of us in their chosen sport. We can’t wait to see them perform their best at the games,” said Alvin Miranda, PAL Vice President for Marketing.
