De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) and Philippine Airlines (PAL) have officially taken their partnership to new heights with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on May 8, 2025, solidifying a collaboration that bridges classroom learning with real-world industry experience.
The ceremonial signing, attended by key executives from Philippine Airlines and PAL Express, along with Benilde administrators and faculty members, marks the beginning of a transformative partnership aimed at cultivating globally competitive and service-driven graduates.
Through this agreement, Benildean students will have the opportunity to undergo internships within PAL’s professional environment, gaining firsthand exposure to the standards, systems, and culture that define one of Asia’s most respected airlines. The program is designed to immerse learners in the airline’s operations, customer service, and management functions, equipping them with practical experience that complements their academic training.
Beyond internship placements, the partnership also sets the stage for broader initiatives such as joint training programs, guest lectures, collaborative research projects, and future employment pathways for Benilde graduates.
This alliance underscores Benilde’s continuing mission to align education with industry needs, preparing its students to soar as capable, compassionate, and competent professionals. Meanwhile, for Philippine Airlines, the collaboration reinforces its commitment to developing the next generation of aviation and hospitality talents—individuals who will embody the Filipino warmth and excellence the flag carrier is known for.
Together, Benilde and PAL are charting a new course toward educational innovation and career readiness, ensuring that students not only dream of flight—but learn to take off.
