Key to achieving PAL’s 4-Star Ambition
are the Ground and Inflight crew who embody our Service Culture of Buong-Pusong Alaga (Whole-hearted Service).
Goal
GET THAT STAR! PROGRAM To be a PAL cabin crew, one has to live up to the qualities of being a 5-star cabin crew! Yes, you are reading it right, 5-stars! PAL’s 4th star is merely a step towards that goal of being a 5-star airline and that takes the act of buong pusong alaga on each passenger. they had to undergo two months of grueling training which eventually moulded them as Philippine Airlines cabin crew, a 4-star airline, and as individuals. From the time Philippine Airlines and PAL Express launched it’s “get that star” campaign with the end goal of being rated a 5-star airline by 2020, their cabin crew all had to undergo a more stringent and holistic training program.

In English, it is “Excellent” or “formidable”. You have to be good in everything you do. You always go beyond the standard level in your work as a cabin crew. You act fast and you can make good decisions when needed. You are a cut above the rest.
Magaling
In English, you are caring. You have a kind heart and genuine concern for others, particularly your passengers. You are warmhearted to the point that you think about others first before yourself. You make sure other people are okay and if they are not, you make sure that you give them the care and comfort for them to feel better.
Maalaga
In English, you have to be dependable. You have to be trustworthy and reliable, especially that as a cabin crew, the lives of passengers are in your hands. People can depend on you for their safety and their needs on board. The airline can also depend on you to carry the company’s vision, mission, its goals, and its values. In other words, your passenger should get the assurance that they are in good hands with your presence.
Maasahan
In English, you are respectful. You treat people equally and with high regards. You show admiration for your passengers even if it is your first time to encounter them. You talk to them properly, you greet and address them with respect. Even if you are to implement strict rules and policies as required by the airline for passenger safety, you know how to talk to them with respect. You greet everyone you see regardless of their career attainment or work positions.
Magalang
You have to be affectionate. This means showing of fondness and tenderness for your passengers, love your airline, your job as a flight attendant or steward, and your colleagues or workmates. You have to be friendly to everyone including people you have never met before. You have to be accomodating too, regardless of their personality.
