Philippine Airlines OIC - Executive Vice President - General Counsel Atty. Carlos Luis Fernandez and Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Richard Bachmann lead the exclusive dinner for Paris-bound Filipino Olympians and Paralympians.

MANILA, Philippines—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, with a pledge to award additional Mabuhay Miles to those who will bring home an Olympic or Paralympic medal.

PAL also launched the “PRs Go Further” campaign during the dinner, putting a spotlight on 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 start of many more initiatives to 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 their partnership with PSC and their campaign in support of the Filipino athletes, PAL reaffirms their 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.
