Philippine Airlines TV Ad ( mid 80's )

[apnarcise]

PALshould make a new commercial...

and use the same song but updated...

DOT new slogan "Philippines - shining for you"

[tjbedista]

This was aired in the early 90's.

[wallknot32]

para akong nasa time machine. ganda talaga ng commercials na kinalakihan mo.

[mahdogzbite]

PAL Bulok!

Masusungit na flight attendants pag pinoy ka, pag kano o hapon naman akala mo mga anghel. Laging delayed ang flights. Ang dudumi ng CR tsaka mga carpet. Sira lagi ang video on board. Kasing mahal pa ng ibang foreign airline so bakit ka pa sasakay sa bulok?

[mojoefly]

i wonder who that little girl with candle is.

[chryan84]

Happy 70th Anniversary Philippine Airlines!! You're always shining through!

[55amsic]

IT NOT PAL OF TODAY IT SUCK MONEY

[irvinetustin]

It's such a beautiful song. Is it a real song. If so I want to hear the whole thing. Does anyone know where I can get it?

[Eman170]

Lovely song and commercial!

[omydel]

I remember this: Late night TV show with my deceased mother, pansit with pandesal and this commercial.

[jayheard4]

oo nga! alang ng wenta mga palabas sa tv ngayon,kaya hindi nako nanonood ng tv! nagiinternet na lang ako!

[nightvisiongoggles1]

Kasalanan din nating mga lumaki sa ganitong de-kalidad na palabas at patalastas kung bakit ang sasagwa ng mga palabas at patalastas ngayon.

Imbes na tayo ang nagdidikta sa mga istasyon kung ano ang gusto nating panoorin, hinayaan natin silang lunurin tayo sa basura, kaya hayan.

Dati, ang mga palabas, nakakapagpatalino. Batibot, Sesame Street, Probe, Tele-Aralan, Negosiyete, Tatak Pilipino, Balintataw, Viewpoint, Straight from the Shoulder, etc...

[nightvisiongoggles1]

... Kahit mga comedy shows at primetime, may saysay... Champoy, TODAS, John en Marsha, Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata... Ang drama, de-kalidad. Star Drama Presents, Lovingly Yours Helen...

Ngayon, ang mga palabas nakakapagpabobo. Subukan niyong mag-marathon ng TV nang isang linggo, tignan natin kung may matira pang sentido sa utak niyo. Puro pantasyang walang values, inggitan sa kasintahan, Koreanong nagtatagalog, sampal dito, sagasa doon, amnesia kahit saan at sangkatutak na nawawalang anak.

[healthcare4all]

Dapat itigil ang swapang na kapitalsta sa pang-aapi ng mga piloto at flight attendant, itigil ang contractualization na isang illegal at immoral na unfair labor practice hindi lang sa Phil. Airline, kundi sa lahat ng industriya sa Pilipinas

[irvinetustin]

That was a really good commercial. That made me want to take a vacation to the Philippines.

[rararaff]

help here... does anyone know the version of Philippine Airlines ad that came out before this one? I'm trying to look for the music to that ad. The music is an instrumental with violins and electric guitars set to a jazzy tune. I think it came out during the late 70's or early 80's

[Altumkell]

@rararaff its the 'Love at Thirty Thousand Feet' by Jose Mari Chan

[rararaff]

[nanamouskourri76]

This was sometime in 1990...maganda pa siguro ang serbisyo ng PAL noon. Ngayon, panget na nga at bastos ang mga stewardess, panget pa ang pagkain sa plane, at di pa safe sakyan ang PAL!

[changni]

Hope that Aviation Office in the Philippine will do their job to back the category 1 of the NAIA and soon the PAL will Shining Through again. To all my kababayan out there please support our flag carrier by flying with them thru our intire flight abroad. Lets make PAL our airline of choice.

[ricman46]

hope PAL will improve costumer service to commensurate the skills of their pilots. PAL has one of the worst Customer Service in the industry. Flight Attendants are rude and incompetent!

[ERIC052778]

What d heck happened to the HIGH QUALITY pinoy commercials of the 80's and early 90's???? God I truly miss those days, when almost all commecrials where of extremely HIGH Levels, and the news shows very little violence and corruption,.....:(

[unostars]

yah looks fmiliar during the 90's parang kasabayan ng patalastas ng nail polish ng caronia ba un ska ung pg propromote ng eatbulaga ng trip to dakak dati hehehe

[mrsunstreaker]

wasn't this shown during the 90s? Looks familiar.

[victorrain]

It reminds me of a Duran Duran video

[gianericpe]

dko na atata naabutan yang comercial na yan.naabutan ko lng ata ung super ferry n sharon.ngaun nga wala na din ata.bwisit nman oh...alam nyo pangarap ko makapagtrabaho sa pinas at smweldo ng kparehas ng sweldo ko dto...cguro kung d lng pinbayahan ang pinas posible mangyari un.....

[chieyX13]

Buti p dati..maganda talaga ang pinas..ngaun hinayupak sa pangit..sana katulad n lng uli ng dati..

[Jridden2009]

how can you progress if you keep fighting amongst each other?

[ricman46]

PAL sucks. double standard airline. Pinoy pasenger - simangot, foreign passenger - all smile!

[lailanielucero]

agree!!!

[louisekaille]

Ok mga pinoy kababayans..let me straight this up.....so you all like an Airline Commercial Ad?

[peejay1on1]

wala ng ganyang commercials ang philippines ngaun... wow philippines nalang... gaganda ng mga commercials nung mga panahon na yan.. gaganda pa ng mga babae... ung mga commercials ngaun ung mga babae mukang madudumi... wala lang... hehehe

[victoriousvaughn]

touching...

[LeMegasandwich]

"Classic"

[nsik888]

this is my favorite TV ad ....this is the reason why i take up fine arts major in advertising ...to make a very good TV ad...pero naging photojourn ako.

[novalichestrack]

Nice. I love this .

[acousticspeaker]

..the beauty of the Philippines, is shining through...

[duquenebonasera]

i love this TV AD...love the melody of the Jingle.

[charlize56]

naalala ko tuloy nung bata pa ko

[pugadlawin2008]

I really love this Pal commercial, I hope gumawa pa sila nang ganito. I saw this commercial when i am still in elementary, and now i am a full pledge lawyer, but still i cant forget this commercial.  It really feels good to see and feel the beauty of our country.

[fasterthanabullet]

@pugadlawin2008

yeah!

[kurtasel]

Well, old advertisement, still cool though

[waterphoenix09]

ito yung time na yung bora e virgin pa at talagang maganda.

[Einodd]

I think this one was late 80's and early 90's. What I really like to see is the one with the Jose Mari Chan jingle "Love At Thirty Thousand Feet". That ad was really nostalgic.

[bmarien26]

hi! do you have the PAL commercial na ang music Philippine National Anthem? =) i was four when that was shot kasi. this was the version being played in cinemas and when tv stations signed off. would appreciate an email if you have a copy. thanks! =)

[allanreamillo]

I could still remember that this is the "abbreviated" version of this advertisement. Do you have the full version? We hope you could provide us with one. Thank you and more power!

[mandrakesMD]

one minute version:

watch?v=4ss-d8Hf498

[N6600]

meron b yung pal dati n c gary v ung kmanta? babalik ka rin.

[zombiepm]

when i saw this ad 6months ago bigla nlng ako naluha akala ko kse di kuna makikita tong comercial nato..i remember the first time i saw this ad when i was a child and told my self vivisit ko din yang mga place nayan someday...now na visit kuna nga badtrip nga lang puro cebu pacific airline ko mura kse...sana meron din nung SARSI add "di kaba nag tataka etc"...mag sarsi ka para ma iba!!!

[lestat76]

actually meron, i search mo lang yung sarsi...complete version yun...

[lestat76]

i think jw thompson did the campaign...i like this ad talaga...the best PAL tv campaign ever!

[maebakes]

if this tvc was produced during the 80s , then i think this is an Avellana and associates ad. JWT acquired PAL mid 90s.

[ceanL]

this PAL commercial is not only promoting their company but also they are promoting the tourism here in the Philippines

[venicethemenace1]

ya..i also rode that plane

Filipino: ako sad na sakay ang aeroplano

[ManilaCoolCat]

The is the best ad I ever saw back in the 80s!

[lestat76]

i really love this ad...it brings back memories of my childhood...the best pal...campaign for me...

[jmanzano17]

I'm 23 years old but i think i remember this.. I remember that girl holding the candle..

[blumage]

PAL should make some new ads.

[zero916]

baka nagtitipid kc magastos na ang gumawa ng commercial

[tiaSoleil]

it feels so nice to watch those oldskool commercials,. im actually looking for some particular commercials such as the GUSTO MEATLOAF COW AND PIG, and the BENCH AD with richard gomez kayaking.

[darkolyte]

alam ko itong commercial na toh nakikita ko toh dati... mga elementary pa ko nun... nakakamiss naman

[lol0924]

Gaya nga akong nakikita yung pangarap na nasa paraiso sila at nagbigay sa akin ang mga hangad noon pang nanonood nito.

[daksdubai]

it has good lyrics and melody, really pinoys compose good jingle like this,,i miss those days i was still in elem days...touching yung jingle..proud pinoy

[DonLubiano]

My ambitions and dreams were still ahead of me as a teenager when this ad was being shown on TV back in the 80s. Pinches the heart now when I see and hear this. Nostalgic!

[noelmenok]

nakaka miss ung yesteryears

[lestat76]

i love this tv ad...timeless...

[nightvisiongoggles]

I hope PAL would take notice and remake these old commercials. I'm pretty sure it would boost their ticket sales...

...The children who fell in love with these ads and the song are now jetsetting adults who would love to rekindle faded memories.

[travz21]

Get me a ticket.

[warmildred]

it reminds me of my childhood...black and white pa ang tv nmin nun and tpat ng pal office ang bahay nmin...huhuhu!!

shining through!!

[kklaudia20]

classic

[reymdg]

it brings back the old days nga naman

[zombiepm]

i remember this tv commercial when i was so young..i told my self mapupuntahan ko din yang mga place nayan...then now my dream came to reality..last 2moths ago i was browsing u-tube then i saw this commercial suddenly i cant stop crying this commercial really moves me so much

[peejay1on1]

its just sad that there is no more tv ads such as beautiful as that now a days on the philippine tv. what we have right now are tv ads shows anger, envy, and hate (and sex).. thats why most of the filipinos are, dramatic depress and dirty thinkers.. sana maging ganyan kagaganda ang mga commercial natin ulit..

[Mridrislozada]

@peejay1on1 Why?

[nsx4life2008]

PAL 4 LIFE

[16c]

I just love seeing old TV commercials :)

Makes me smile.

[gingersnapz28]

Me too, makes me reminisce about stuff. :)

[genmaxx]

this is a timeless commercial.

[jazzerzeroniner]

I remember this commercial when I was still young. Never get tired of watching it, even 'til now.:D I think it was composed by Ryan Cayabyab, if I'm not mistaken.

[kitchenhelper]

mahalin natin ang PINAS sa atin to eh...

[batcarlo]

nice

[denscave]

Classic.

[apmech]

Thank you Mr AdMan for posting this video..I was still working with PAL when they first showed this on tv... very memorable, back to good old days. I wish you also have "Love at thirty thousand feet" by Jose Mari Chan.. another PAL classic ad..thanks again and keep up the good work!

[aljur15]

ano title nung song..danda ang puta

[vltlaby]

ang ganda talga ng commercial ito...

from the background music to the scenes......

[denzkie007]

i love this ad, i was still a kid back in the 80's. whoever made this ad should be commended for his artistry. galing talaga ng pinoy!

i hope you can still ad the one with jose mari chan song (",)

mabuhay ang Pilipino...

[acushtikdrumma007]

I love this PAL commercial! Reminds me a lot of the good ol' days. It's good to watch this once in a while especially when i get tired of watching news on rice crisis and corruption. Mr. Adman, i've got to say, you have one helluva collection of ads. Some, way before my time. Good job! Anyway, I'm just curious, do you have the one with the PLDT or AT&T ad with two siblings "Cebu-B"? Also, Vilma Santos' Whisper (sanitary napkin) commercial? And Sprite Magpakatotoo Ka/ Japorms commercials?

[sarangheo23]

I love this AD!! Ang galing talaga ng Pinoy when it comes to advertising tourism in the Phils.

[emir0721]

Lyrics:

Warm is the sun in the skies of blue

Feel the smiles that welcome you

At last, its true, the beauty of the Philippines is shining through

Philippine Airlines, shining through

[lol0924]

Salamat sa yung binigyan ang itong lyric.

I feel like 'Dapat ko lang magsalamat sa 'yo kasi lyric na ito ay parang ganda. Baka meron luha sa aking mata.

[emir0721]

Isn't this video originally uploaded by sam1230? How did you obtain it?

[frankguiling]

I hope PAL would come up with a new TV ad. I also miss Sammy Davis' song which was used by PAL.

[markpaul]

so beautiful background music!

[jonester24]

That is a great commercial. They should air it again. I was in Manila month ago. I flew Philippine Airlines.

[isat214]

their catch phrase/jingle after "shining through" was "on the wings of change" but that was years ago. i am baffled as well. they no longer run ads...

[eumirday]

man. makes u want to come home

[ladyofithilien]

gandagandagandagandagandaganda­h!!!

[emir0721]

In-air ba ito noong panahon na ni Cory...o ni Marcos?

[isat214]

cory...

[caznable2k]

AT LAST IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Touch so warm and with a helping hand!!!! Reaching out and touching you!!!!!With the beauty of the Philippines

[maryjoy29]

ang sarap talga tumira sa philippinas.....

[nenifrej1973]

Thanks for this clip...

[morning78]

this is amazing...after so many years, I still remember the lyrics and sing along. kudos!

[tatagon]

I miss this ad. Galing ng pagkagawa.

[shicay]

i miss my country.

[jubrax54]

i miss my hometown... =(

[Yorobun]

dont say homwtown say homeland!

[eachim]

kainggit ung singapore airlines saka ung thai airways. ganda nung cabin features... wish ko PAL din magkaron nun... napagiiwanan n tau...

[occultdestroyer]

Wala kasi na kasi pera. Mayayaman yung mga bansang iyon.

[isat214]

parang wala nang masyadong commercials ang PAL...they make the best ads pa naman...

[dionocampos]

bumaba ang standard ng PAL....bakit kaya?...

[tasvi]

what standard? now they are earning more and out of the rehabilation program.They are buying and leasing new aircrafts with new cabin configuration.For maintenance side lufhansa techniks is the one maintaining the aircrafts,the biggest MRO in the world.

[soliddkapamilya]

have u seen tv patrol?....it has been downgraded to category 2 from category 1 by the american aviation standard something like that( im not sure with the exact term)...that means there are things need to improve to meet their international standards like safety precautions, etc...yes,they have recovered from rehab , in fact they are actually planning to have more routes in the US but the recent audit results were not impressive...

[tasvi]

The philippine air transport office is the one downgraded to category 2 not philippine airlines.pal don't maintain the radar system,traffic controller,and also pal is not a regulatory body like a.t.o FAA audit pal separately because they have 4 aircrafts that are registered in the US.Since pal is base in PI so most likely it is affected with the ATO downgrade.Since Ramos time pa ang problema ng ato

[hilarioph]

I this commercial when it airs on the world tonight on abs cbn 2 during commercial breaks

[teikken]

brings back memories...when our country wasn't so fcuked up yet, unlike now

[geejaycrazy]

I agree... Its not as fucked up! Now its so mess up you dont know where to begin, pero maganda pa rin ang pinas! theres hope.. I hope!

[DocMandrakes]

i really love this ad... actually nasa iPod ko na sya! hehe

[geejaycrazy]

REALLY? CAN YOU SEND ME A COPY AS WELL Pleeze!

[chloexandra]

i love this vid.

[pinoybackpacker]

I love this ad! Cleo Award winner 'to.

[nerskie]

I love this advertisement, so short yet so beautiful. It brings back memories of home.

[ScarBrowGabriel]

WOW! Phil Airlines! always on time, when they advised all flights will be late true to their words... they'll be fucken late even cancelled! daymmmm! Theyr even full of surprises!

[pangasar]

waaaahhH!! namimiss ko ito! dati parating pinapalabas ito sa PTV4. hahha

[aikenjoshandrew]

sad to say the sun is not shining for PAL anymore...

[cangear]

ahh....ako rin, part ako ng commercial na ito. ako yung naninilip sa likod ng puno ng kaimito.

[cangear]

susme....di pa yata ako ipinanganak nun...

[tobetamaki]

ahhhhhh man,i miss those years

[niceguy032169]

One of the best commercials ever made. I guess it was also recognized among the top 25 commercials including bench, smb and others. sana may sarsi commercial din that was shown during late 80's.

[johnmarquez88]

Its a good refresher....How can I forget that line..." SHINING THROUGH, THE PHILIPPINE AIRLINE".. Hahaha... grade 2 ata ako when it was aired nationwide... Brings back my childhood memory.... * sorry to imitate a some of your lines jonsi12. Its the best way to say and discribe that feeling. Thanks for the Vid...

[jonsi12]

The jingle/song is so memorable. Even until now, I still know the lyrics and how it sounds... Brings back so many childhood memories!

[wowparebigat]

mas maganda kung buo sana yung ads. alam ko mahaba ito, my late uncle directed this commercial. kung gaano kaganda ang pagkaka gawa ng commercial ganun din kaganda ang Pilipinas!!! thanks to ADMAN!

[ADman1909]

Wow...so your uncle have a back up copy of this commercial? the complete version? pakipost naman or padala mo sa amin. We will give proper credits poh

[marquitos04]

oh my gosh!!!

[yagibuman]

nice to see this commercial again. one of my favorite from the old days.

[Jonabelle23]

The Art Director & Photographer of this video is my (late) brother in-law, Don Couldrey and the young girl holding a candle in the end is my niece, Irish Ignacio. She now resides in New York City. Jonabelle23

[nacho8libre]

If i'm not mistaken, this ad was directed by new zealander Don Couldrey for McCaan Erickson. Btw, that's my sister holding the candle at the end of the ad. That shot was taken in a suite at the former Philippine Plaza Hotel. She's 30 now.

[DocMandrakes]

One of Philippine Airline's Vintage advert in 1987 featuring the song "Shining Through" written by Louie Ocampo. This Version is the one aired in China and Hong Kong television networks. One of the first series of tourism-inspired advertisements of PAL.

[Einodd]

This one is late 80's early 90's. There is however an older PAL advertisement during the late 70's and early 80's wherein the plane livery is of different color than the one used today. The song in that one was sung by Jose Mari Chan entitled "Love At Thirty Thousand Feet."

[raintracks]

Philippine Airlines'slogan should be "The great mechanical, exterior, and interior problems of our Airplane are shining through"

Especially the holes on these damn shitty leather seats shines through your fuckin ass LOL

[Boyet1980]

hello we are talking about the commercial done in md 80's not PA now.

[DocMandrakes]

wow! my favorite advertisement ever! (actually ngayon ko lang napanood to)

ang ganda ng pagkakagawa, sana sing-ganda nito ang mga ads ngayon sa TV! sigh.

[nazinazario]

the beauty of the philippine come shinning through! great commercial..

[aramunja311]

sana ipost nyo rin ng buo yung isa pang ads ng PAL ung umpisa ng umaga bumukas ang hangar tapos pahila palabas ang eroplano so on etc..

[gelopot]

i agree, definitely one of the best TV ads in history. sino nag-direct nito? ang galing ng cinematography at pinapakita talaga na maganda ang 'pinas. sana mga ganito commercials natin...great work!

[kjmarsonist]

naalala ko na naman ang kabataan ko dito

[ChiSigmaXE]

isnt it the footages used here was also used by the Dept of tourism to promote the Philippines? there was an MTV i think..and it was always shown in PTV 4..

[ChiSigmaXE]

yeah....the beauty of the philippines is shining through!!!! miss na miss ko na bansa natin!!

[Male22Maroon]

AFAIK, "Shining Through" was composed by Louie Ocampo, not Jose Mari Chan.

[Male22Maroon]

One of the best TV ads in history. Sana meron ulit ganito. :-)

[anak1]

Thanks for uploading! Nostalgic!!! The PAL ads used to appear on TV herein the UK when PAL used to fly to London Heathrow.

[jrli98]

gosh! i love this ad. definitely one of my favorites besides magnolia ice cream (kayganda ng ating musika) and sarsi

[yotski]

i remember the jingle... it amazed me now.

[gntrhofmann]

miss phils...

[BruceWayne968]

another FYI, this ad was also shown on these 80's hits: Airwolf, Macgyver, Knight Rider, Mission Impossible, Dynasty, Love Boat, Automan, etc...

[lcruzie]

I'm amazed where you got this. The melody brings back memories of childhood. Jose Mari Chan composed some of the PAL commercials? Anybody who has a copy?

Thanks for posting.

[ADman1909]

parang mayron kami pero audio lang ata

[BruceWayne968]

its a 1987 ad FYI for everyone

panahon pa noon ng Star Network (ABS-CBN) & Where You Belong (GMA 7) ang TV commercial ng Philippine Airlines, & alam ko na ung mga videos sa TV ad na yan ay ginamit din sa Philippine National Anthem (Lupang Hinirang) noong 80's which was aired every sign-on/sign-off of every TV station.
