Philippine Airlines reinvents the classic safety video with a Telenovela twist

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has turned the familiar pre-flight safety video into something no one saw coming: a full-on Filipino telenovela. Introducing The Safetynovela, a world-first for the airline industry that brings together entertainment and education in true Pinoy fashion.

The Safetynovela taps into that cultural affinity in a thoughtful way, turning essential safety instructions into a short film that feels more like an in-flight drama than a procedural announcement. Beautifully framed scenes highlight some of the country’s top destinations, including Bohol, Boracay, Pangasinan, Malcapuya Island in Palawan, and the historic Daraga Church in Albay. Much of the film was shot at the heritage estate of Hacienda Santa Rosalia in Manapla, Negros Occidental which added authenticity, texture, and a sense of place.

Consistency Over Intensity: How Small Habits Create Big Health Wins

Build Sustainable Family Wellness Routines in 2026 with LAC Philippines

New Year’s resolutions, rooted in hope and the desire for a fresh start, will once again motivate millions of Filipinos as 2026 begins. A Forbes Health/OnePoll survey shows that more than 60 percent of adults feel pressured to set resolutions and often choose three or more goals for the year. Yet research cited by Verywell Mind notes that over 90 percent of resolutions fade within months because people aim too big, move too quickly, or commit to changes they cannot sustain.

Experts explain that resolutions often fail when they rely on drastic, all-or-nothing shifts that are difficult to maintain. Extreme diets, intense workout plans, and sudden lifestyle overhauls can create frustration rather than progress. Psychologists emphasize that meaningful change begins with understanding your motivation and breaking larger goals into practical habits that you can repeat each day.
