The deceptive page even posted a photo of a suspicious PAL receipt worth P168, urging the public to avail themselves of the promo.
“Imagine 6 free flights for only P168 from Philippine Airlines! This offer won’t last forever — the number of applications is limited. Hurry up so you don’t miss this incredible opportunity to travel,” the caption read.
But in her post, Villaluna emphasized that PAL does not condone any deception using an inauthentic PAL page and will take legal action to take down the account.
