MANILA — The Philippine Airlines (PAL) and the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) have officially entered a three-year partnership to provide enhanced travel support for Filipino athletes competing abroad.

Under the agreement, which runs from October 2025 to October 2028, PAL becomes the Official Airline Sponsor for PSC sports delegations in major international events, including the 2025 Southeast Asian Games, 2026 Asian Games, 2027 SEA Games, and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The partnership ensures special travel privileges for national athletes—such as fare discounts, added benefits, and Mabuhay Miles incentives for medalists—to make their journeys more comfortable and focused on performance.
