Last March 1st, Philippine Airlines prepared a short program at NAIA Terminal 2 to express there gratitude to the people of Pagadian who showed there support by taking the first flight.

I was very blessed to be representing the City Mayor in the cutting of the ribbon together with PAL AVP Harry Inoferio, DOTR Secretary Arthur Tugade, CAAP DG Capt. Jim Sydiongco, USEC Capt. Manuel Antonio Tamayo, and the executives of Philippine Airlines.

It was truly a privilege to be a part of PAL’s Inaugural flight from Manila to Pagadian. (together with the rest of the City Council and our City Vice Mayor Maphi Obaob)

In Pagadian Airport were the PAL President and COO, Gilbert Sta. Maria, PAL Express President Bonifacio Sam, together with our City Mayor Samuel Co and the first lady Ilang-Ilang Co, Gov. Victor Yu, Congw. Divina Yu, and the board members.

The City Mayor also prepared a short send-off ceremony and personally thanked Philippine Airlines for finally flying a daily MANILA-PAGADIAN-MANILA route and of course, our DOTR Sec Tugade for this would not be possible without his continuous support and efforts.

With PAL now flying MANILA-PAGADIAN-MANILA, this makes our city more accessible and will not only benefit the locals but will certainly attract more tourists to come and travel to Pagadian. With this, we hope that everyone will support the new airlines serving our City and continue to contribute to its progress. The success of our city is the success of every Pagadianon.
