2024 The Dragon: CMO of Rising Tigers Magazine leads with vigor

Rising Tigers Magazine launched at 2022 on the year of the Tiger. The Magazine is currently the most distributed Leadership Magazine in the Philippines. The growth of the Magazine was due to the stories of the Top Business Leaders, Public Servants and Prominent figures of the country. In just two years, the Magazine expanded to more National Bookstore branches and successfully penetrated different industries in the Country. Philippine Airlines became one of its strongest partners, and now the Magazine is available in all Mabuhay Lounge as one of their many milestones.

As we enter 2024, Rising Tigers welcomes the year of the Wood Dragon. The dragon symbolizes power, nobleness, honor, and luck. It is a supernatural being with no parallel for talent and excellence.  

According to China Highlights, Because of the Dragons knowledge, power and capability, people are willing to take orders from them. They are best suited leaders of the world with their character traits of dominance and ambition. They are also ambitious, and have a strong drive to realize their dreams and they are adventurous. Once goals are settled, they will try their best to fight for success. Their eloquence and passion make their speech authoritative. They have another gift - their innate luck, which will help them achieve their goals. They are people of charm, so they can always win another's heart easily.

Rising Tigers CMO Andria Terese Nicolas invites all to embody the characteristics of a Dragon Leader.

"As we welcome the year of opportunities, we should embody the characteristics of a Dragon Leader. Imaginative, passionate, strong-willed,  and do everything in the best of all standards. They have no fear in challenges and has the heart to take risks.

I recently read the story of how the dragon ended up the fifth zodiac sign, despite the fastest, and deserving to be in the first, it was because he generously helped the other animals who experienced weather challenges in the race. Since the dragon is the only animal that can control the movement of the weather, he made sure everyone is safe throughout the race. The trait that the dragon has that is not usually popular is his heart to help."

"This year, you must have the strength to demonstrate exemplary leadership with the heart of generously helping others. In the end, you must have the fire within."

Rising Tigers Magazine welcomes the sole Imaginary animal. We invite everyone to lead with dominance, ambition, courage and compassion. 

"As we enter a New Year, we will be having monthly events and projects that will create visionary leaders and gather more people to join us in Nation Building. This will be a start of rapid change and you will definitely hear more about us, our 2024 will be full of Dragon Leaders. Let's make history and write it together."

Fly High with Philippine Airlines Business Class by Grace Bondad Nicolas

It’s human nature to seek a comfortable life and one way to experience that is to work hard for our goals. Whether you’re successful employed or a hard working entrepreneur, everyone deserves an indulgence. 

For 82 years, Philippine Airlines is making sure that all those handwork deserves an indulgence.  For those who are looking for comfort and luxury at a competitive price, PALs Business Class is what you are looking for.

The Business Class cabin has a number of complimentary services and amenities, such as high-quality food and restaurant level cocktail drinks, larger and more comfortable seating, a personal workspace, travel kits and an overwhelming service from the flight attendants. What's included with a Business Class ticket differs from airline to airline, with some, more extravagant than others.

Service

The passengers at Business Class have their own lane at the check in counters, that means lesser queuing since most aircraft especially those traveling in Asia have only 12-18 seats per flight,  and your luggage’s will have a “priority” stickers too,  it means your luggage gets the VIP treatment.

For Philippine Airlines, according to the President and Chief Operations Officer, Captain Stanley K. Ng, Business Class available seats differ on their travel destinations; 

West Coast US - 42 seats

East Coast  US - 30 seats

Middle East and Australia - 18 seats

Asia - 12-18 seats

Usually are the first to enter too in the aircraft which means less waiting time.

Food 

If you haven’t tried yet the comfort in Business Class, if you have the ticket, you will receive a complimentary access in their lounges. Philippine Airlines have “Mabuhay Lounge” in their domestic and international flights in the Philippines and you’ll enjoy the unlimited food inside. There are USB ports also, which means additional battery life for your gadgets. 

After your unlimited meals which includes cocktails at Mabuhay Lounge, once you’re inside the aircraft, the flight attendants will serve their welcome drinks (Sodas, Tea, Juiced) and combined with the offerings of Cashew or Almond nuts as snacks, unlike at Economy which usually serves with peanuts and water. Did I mentioned about the hot towels? 

While you’re enjoying the comfortability, the flight attendant will distribute your complimentary slippers and the travel pouch with a toothbrush, face towel and eye mask. A pillow and blanket must be in your seat when you arrive to make you more feel at home. 

Since you visited the Mabuhay Lounge or any partner lounge of Philippine Airlines, chances are you’re still full from indulging with the buffet spread, the flight attendant will hand over the menu for your meal. It’s not a choice between the pork or fish but there’s 3 options instead, can be fish, pork or beef. Oh the array of the drinks from sodas, juices, liquors or cocktails and you can order all. 

The meal

In Business Class, you have an appetizer which looks like better than the main meal in Economy Class. The flight attendant can serve also a Russian style offering of bread selections. 

The Seats 

When you can recline and make the comfy seat in horizontal position, it’s the dream of anyone in the plane. The availability of USB port and universal outlet are heaven, that means no more low battery as long as you’re in Business Class. 

Indulgence 

On traveling when booking for a flight, the first that we check is the cost of the seats if you’re in a budget restriction but is it worth it flying Business Class or First Class? the answer would be yes especially if you’re on a long haul international flight for that extra service and comfortability. 

A comfort flight is a necessity when traveling. Being able to relax and have a good rest on the flight definitely helps to set the travel journey in that relaxing direction. For that Business Class dream, here are the summary of the perks; Priority Check-In, Check-in procedure is much easier and more convenient, Additional Baggage Allowance, Business Class Lounge, Priority Boarding, Gourmet food in the aircraft with cocktails, Bigger and Better Seats, Travel Kits and First to leave the aircraft. 

Enjoy Philippine Airlines, The Heart of the Filipino.
