Philippine Airlines - Shining Through (1980's) 

I am with the Director of this advertisement right now. He, Dr Trevor walked us thru the whole commercial! What an honor!

this is the best Philippines airlines ad. the director of photography, the cinematography was on point. grabe ang ganda!

The best Philippine Airline commercial and jingle. One of the best commercials in the Philippines. It never failed to give me goosebumps and shivers. Perfectly done. The lyrics, the musicality, the direction, the cinematography and concept we're all in point. It digs the Filipino pride in me.

Some of the places featured in PAL's "Shining Through" ad, which is, hands down, of the best Philippine TV ads ever: Manila Vigan Pagsanjan ("Shooting the Rapids") Boracay Zamboanga

This song should have been revived, instead of the new song from Sarah, Lea, and Bamboo in my very humble opinion. Mas feel ko ang pagka Pilipino sa kantang ito.

one word: Nostalgic

This was by far the best catchy true-to-heart PAL commercial ever produced! Bring it back with a nice modern twist!

I remember this running in the u.s and Canada in the late 80s great ad love it!

Wow.. It reminds me of my younger days.. I still remember this PAL commercial. It brings back my childhood memories. Kakaiyak. 😅

nakaka miss yung commercial na to. parang dadalhin ka niya ulit sa pagkabata, 5x ko ata inulit.🥺😍

This commercial reminds me of the era where Philippine Airlines is one of the leading carriers in the world... even topped cathay, singapore, and all other carriers that boomed lately.. such a waste for an airline which made filipinos proud for a while. :(

This must be the Tourism video and current comercial for PAL It is like a Tourism commercial ng First World na bansa kumpara sa commercial ng isang airline

i'm filipino american. i've never been to the philippines, but this brings a tear to my eye. it's really done well.

Whenever I feel homesick, I just watch this ad. It's nostalgic and speaks what the Philippines truly is. I've been living abroad for nearly 3 decades now. Gone are the days when everything was simple.

its a smartiest tv ad of all time! 2 thumbs up to the director.

Beautiful country beautiful people.

Deep in our heart There's a light that shines Brighter than it ever dear before Warm as the sun And the whole skies are blue Real as the smiles that welcome you At last it's true The beauty of the Philippines (It's shining through) And the freedom of the Philippines (It's shining through) At last it's true The beauty of the Philippines (Shining Through) Philippine Airlines, Shining Through

mas maganda pa to kesa sa commercial ng PAL ngayon

…… memories of my childhood!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

NOSTALGIA

That.Was.Awesome! My first trip to the Philippines was in July of 1989 for my 4th birthday when I met my mum's side of the family for the first time. It's something that I have not forgotten. Since then I have travelled back a further 5 times, most recently in Jan-Feb of 2011. The Philippines is my eternal second home and I can assure you the Philippines shines through my heart. :)

great TBT (throwback Thursday) and Flashback Friday moments. This commercial will work or click even this generation. One of the best Philippine ads. Shining Through! :D

I was born in 2003, but everytime i listen to this song, it feels like i'm born in the 80's.

I miss this adverisement....i miss PAL flights to Marinduque during the 70's 80's and 90's

ito lanf talaga ang alam kong tv commercial ng PAL... i was born in 83 and it really made a mark in my childhood memory. World class na nga ang peg ng commercial na to!

I grew up watching this commercial. And i sing with it, brings back memories. I must say one of the best commercials then.

I love this. They should put it on TV all over ther world again. If not, Cebu Pacfic should do it :-)

commercials like this were made from the heart, unlike today that only lures the consumers to the point of false marketing and dirty strategies... looking back, "the beauty of the philippines is shining through; and the freedom of the philippines is shining through..." but are we as proud today as we were yesterday? sad to say, we filipinos are partly to blame to the philippines that we are currently living today; on the contrary, only we ourselves can bring the glory back to her...

This takes me back to 1989. A flight to Manila in the classic 747. I loved every moment of that 15 hour flight.

Saludo ako sa 80s!

God I LOVE THIS PHILLIPINES AD SO MUCH

The 1980s advertisement by PAL displayed the splendor of the Filipino populace and made a substantial impact on the country's tourism business. This initiative stimulated globetrotters to visit the Philippines, thus providing them an opportunity to encounter its matchless allure upfront. The campaign also instilled pride and a sense of self-reliance among the locals by endorsing their inherent attractiveness and culture's wealth.

the beauty of the phil is shining through

ito na yata ang pinaka magandang palatastas na nakita ko sa buong buhay ko

Still the best PH ad I've ever seen. So nostalgic. So beautiful. 👍😊

i booked at PAL this week and i'am going back at my birth place and my own hometown.....PALAWAN

Grabeeeee!!! Nami-miss ko ang Pinas!!!! I've been away for 19 years na.

Eto ung panahon sarap magka girlpren kaso Ang bata ko pa nun awww

Beautiful cinematography and music. Waaaay better than the over-sensationalized commercials by Bamboo and Sarah Geronimo.

Nang bata pa kami isa to sa paborito naming commercial, 6 yrs old pa lang ako niyan and now I'm 39 yrs old... Praise GOD in Jesus Christ name, celebrate life!

moved to seattle in 2011, and they're launching a SEA-MNL route in october LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ndi mawawala ung pahulaan ng commercial nuon. Enjoy ka na sa pinapanuod mo, pati pag commercial ganun din. Kabisadong kabisado😊❤️

commercial that i grew up with, great song

THE BEAUTY OF THE PHILIPPINES SHINING THROUGH!!!!

Nostalgic ❤😊

ito lagi ko sinasakyan pag nauwi ng probinxa namin..

This ad is timeless.. really makes you love and proud of Philippine Airlines as our national carrier :)I dont mind if they will show this in this time ;)

Ito tlga ang pinaka memorable n comercial ng PAL ramdam mo ang pilipinas walang halong p cute at kaartehan kundi true beauty of the Philippines alamat no to.

Thank you philipines airline sa video noong maliit pa ako.

I love this commercial ,PROud to be citizen of this country...

Everytime I see this commercial I miss those days when where travelling to Palawan with PAL.

Bakit may kurot sa puso tong commercial nato😢

Ang ganda talaga nito! ❤

Brings back fond memories, childhood days during the 80s

Sana'y magkaroon ulit ng commercial ang PAL tapos ang bigyan ito ng bagong version ng SB19 along with Bini

philippines is philippines..i love my country..like no other in the world..the happiest people in the world..bcoz they love simpe things..they always smiles.. love it..

Hoping for a remake. Please shine through once again

look at the still unspoiled Boracay

I was a kid when this aired. The philippines was just coming out of 20 years dictatorship.

DDB Philippines, this is how you make promotional tourism video!

I note this promotion also happened a few months after the Philippine Revolution that toppled Ferdinand Marcos, and his family from power, an event praised around the world, because it was bloodless, and historically unprecedented. With everything Filipino having the touch of gold now, (to encourage them foreign investment was at an all time high) did Philippine Airlines capitalize on this new interest, thinking it was now time for a brand new global promotion? I remember the ad in Australia very well in 1986 and as I've said elsewhere, the theme song "Shining Through" is my favourite one of all time, in an airline TV advertisement. They did themselves very proud.

I love this ad... makes me wanna go home real bad. thanks for the long version, mandrakesMD!!

parang naiiyak ako panoorin at pakinggan na miss ko nung kabataan ko😭

Sa wakas, na-upload din yung full at high quality version nito. Salamat!

I wish they could revive this song.

Philippine Airlines is the original holder of this slogan!!!

The sound nostalgic ❤

The whole video is setting a different mode for a Filipino who's working abroad and is missing the country so much! 😭

Bally Sports Philippines on RPN-9, Starts new year, in 2024!

i love this ad

Hands down. The best PAL advertisement. The shots, the song, the vocals, the musicality is all just perfectly placed. Should create one again. Who sang this by the way?

this is nice...gives a nice feeling...

this commercial makes me proud being a Filipino

Yay! Will be shining through "Uniquely Singapore" this Thursday. Thanks PAL! ;)

The best commercial way back 80s

very classic. by 2020, our flag carrier and Asia's First Airline will be a five star airline. new airplanes and the great inflight service plus new destinations.

wow reminds me of younger years

Naiiyak ako, nakakamiss! 😪

Finally, Look what I found PAL airlines flight icon?

If this song be revived be like: when people missed the country they call home.

I personally like this version better than the current jingle!

I booked in PAL going to Singapore next year! Shining through. ;)

super ganda,,makes me proud to be filipino, by the way..who is the singer? and composer?

Mabuhay!

N O S T A L G I A!!!

bb pilipinas u 1984 n bb pilipinas maja 85 both runners up Desiree Verdadero and Iza Gonzales

i believe the one responsible for this campaign/ad died of cancer...eto legacy nya sa philippine advertising

best filipino commercial ever. ginawa ito nung year 1986 after ng people power kudos pres cory aquino isa ito sa program ng dot nung cory admin great commercial

wow.. remember the days

Wla pang covid.19 sarap.balikan ang nakaraan

Like it so much

Reminds me of my younger years..

A very nice ad

sana meron pang commercials of pal... :)

Love it

Indeed it is.

flying with my best PAL is so comfortable

Man, this was one of the ads that made me decide to work in advertising. Somewhere along the way, local advertising lost it's soul, and I had to let go. :(

siguro mas magandang ibalik to sa tv ngayon sana ipalabas ulit sa tv

Sana may ganitong klaseng advertisements ulit ang PAL by the time may 777-300ER na sila.
