The Ninoy Aquino International Airport is the primary airport of the Philippines that handles an estimated 38 million passengers annually.
And it is a hub for major airlines...
One of which, is the Philippine Airlines, the flag carrier of the country and is the first and oldest airline in Asia founded in 1941.
With its 63 aircraft, PAL serves 31 domestic flights and 41 overseas destinations in Southeast Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, North America and Europe.
PAL is considered one of the largest corporation in the country in terms of revenue that is owned by business tycoon Lucio Tan through its parent company, the PAL Holdings Inc.
In 2015, PAL Holdings reported its profits for the first half to 58 billion pesos or $126 million dollars, that is tenfold of the 12.8 million dollars of the same period of 2014.
At the heart of its tremendous success and profits for over 75 years, PAL continues to fly because of the people behind it.
Shrouded by the day to day grinding and bustling environment...
Buried within those smiles, there exists a conflict so profound and visceral enduring for already six years.
This is Jake...
His been in PAL for more than 20 years until that ill-fated LOCKOUT...
When the 600 Philippine Airlines Employees Association or PALEA Union Members were terminated due to outsourcing.
Like in any conflict where the head of the family is in the frontline...
The most problematic for the PALEA Union members and officers... how it affected their loved ones.
