Philippine Airlines - Shining Through (1980's)

In 1986, AVIA Communications launched its integrated marketing communications campaign "The Beauty of the Philippines - Shining Through" via television spot placements in PAL's key overseas markets. This was supported by an intensive print ad campaign as well as posters, brochures and other point of purchase materials in travel agencies, Philippine embassies and consulates and other channels. The beauty of the campaign could also be seen in the awards it reaped both locally and internationally. It was a finalist in the TV advertising and jingle category of the CLIO Awards, considered the 'Oscars' of the advertising industry.

I've been living away from Pinas for nearly 3 decades now and there are times when I feel homesick. But there's nothing much to go back to anymore. My mom's gone, my lola's my brothers have their own families, my cousins are away, our neighbors have migrated to US, our helpers are gone... Basically, all I have are just memories to reminisce. This ad reminds me of my elementary years. They were the years of simplicity, pure joy and love.

    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.

    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...

    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.
