MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Christmas is a time for gift-giving, and making dreams and wishes come true for yourself and your loved ones. While it’s merry and nice to offer material presents, nothing beats the life-long, happy memories one can make with the gift of travel. And this holiday season, the nation’s flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) provides people with exactly that.
PAL’s iconic tagline, “The Heart of the Filipino,” shows the inherent spirit of giving in our culture. And to further bring fresh meaning to this, the airline has released its latest film, Sorpresa (Surprise) as part of its “Care That Comes From The Heart” campaign, along with more surprises.
A Christmas wish come true
Christmas wishes are popular for a reason, and Sorpresa tells a story that will be familiar to most people seeking to be their loved ones’ own Santa Claus. The short, heartwarming film depicts how dreams, albeit set aside for years, are never too late to be realized and rekindled with the help of your loved ones — especially with the magic of the season.
Sorpresa took inspiration from the family-oriented values rooted in every Filipino, and the importance of family that’s embedded in our culture. It captured the essence of a true Pinoy Christmas — a time for love and togetherness, and sometimes, even sacrifice.
The film embodies PAL’s expression, “Care That Comes From The Heart” by showing how dreams, love, and family enmesh and flourish across generations. Through the heartfelt story, PAL showcases that its care for passengers goes beyond providing service: it’s about caring for and initiating the meaningful moments, and providing a helpful hand in fulfilling the dreams of their passengers.
PAL e-Gift Card: The gift of travel
In addition to the story of Sorpresa that resonates with a lot of Filipino families, PAL offers a more thoughtful gift option for your loved ones. Highlighted in the same video is PAL’s e-Gift Card — a new way to say “I love you” and make your loved ones’ dreams come true.
The PAL e-Gift Card makes it easier than ever to share the joy of travel. It reinforces people’s dedication to making every journey special, creating lasting memories, offering thoughtful ways to connect, and celebrating life’s milestones.
