The Association of Former Flight Attendants of Philippine Airlines (Affap) is organizing a Latin-themed reunion on Feb. 17-18. The airline instills discipline in its people and teaches them humility and grace.
The group meets every month in places like Titania’s Wine Cellar (hosted by Tita Trillo), Makati Sports Club and founder Christina Romero-Altura’s new home in Alabang. Our current president is Avelyn Jahns, who finished dentistry after retiring from PAL.
Affap will hold its reunion at Manila Hotel’s Fiesta Pavilion, where Christina will present PAL flight attendants’ different uniforms since the airline began flying the skies after World War II!
