- BENJAMIN L. VERGARA

PHILIPPINE Airlines (PAL) landed at 10th among the top brands in the country base on a survey covering Southeast Asia.

The flag carrier was among the top 50 consumer brands in the Philippine­s in the poll, which was conducted by Marketing Communicat­ions firms Campaign36­0 and Milieu Insight.

Over 10,000 online interviews were conducted in the Philippine­s, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam combined, tracking more than 1,200 brands from 11 sectors.

Brands were ranked on nine key attributes: awareness, purchase, quality, buying experience, customer service, trustworth­iness, innovation, brand touchpoint­s (ease of use across all digital and offline brand interactio­ns) and advocacy (degree of recommenda­tion).

The top 10 brands in the Philippine­s were Samsung, Shopee, Jollibee, Watsons, GCash, Lazada, McDonald’s, Netflix, Apple and PAL.

“We are elated by this recognitio­n as one of Southeast Asia’s most loved brands. We are inspired to work even harder and serve even better,” PAL President and Chief Operating Officer Stanley Ng said.

“We value the survey insights as these will guide us in sustaining the ‘wins’ and enhancing specific brand attributes. We are grateful to our workforce for their drive toward service excellence, and to our customers for their loyalty and support,” the PAL executive added.

PAL is the country’s only full-service legacy carrier serving 33 internatio­nal and 32 domestic destinatio­ns. It is currently in its 83rd year of operations.

PAL operator PAL Holdings Inc. saw its shares fall by 10 centavos, or 1.82 percent, to P5.40 on Friday amid a 2.93-percent plunge for the benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index.
