Experience Elite with PNB: PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard Media Launch

25 September 2024 — As the Philippines’ first universal bank, Philippine National Bank (PNB) continues to set the standard for true exclusivity with the launch of its most prestigious offering: the PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard, in partnership with Philippine Airlines (PAL) and Mastercard. The latest offering was unveiled during an exclusive media event last September 18 at Shangri-La The Fort, Bonifacio Global City.

Through this launch, PNB redefines luxury by offering bespoke services, exceptional benefits, and global privileges that provide seamless convenience and exclusive perks, ensuring cardholders experience the finest the world has to offer.

During the media launch, guests were taken on a culinary adventure through a dinner inspired by food degustation around the world. This gave a taste and glimpse of experiences that the cardholder can unlock with the PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard.

Designed for premier patrons who seek exclusivity and unparalleled travel experiences, the card offers privileges that elevate every aspect of the cardholder’s lifestyle. From earning valuable travel rewards to accessing elite services, this full metal contactless card represents the pinnacle of sophistication and personalized benefits.

A Culinary Journey with Chef Joris Rycken

The exclusivity of the evening extended beyond the card to the very plates that were served. Chef Joris Rycken guided guests through a culinary voyage across continents, each dish a reflection of elite travel.

The journey began with Australia’s Outback Elegance—a delicate Carpaccio of Australian Wagyu Beef, followed by the richness of France’s Bisque de Homard, a luxurious Lobster Bisque that brought the indulgence of the sea to life. The guests were then transported to the Middle East with Oriental Reverie—a Crispy Braised Pulled Lamb Shoulder that embodied the depth of Middle Eastern flavors. A refreshing Passion Fruit Sorbet from Brazil offered a brief, vibrant pause before the evening’s pinnacle—New York Empire Shoreline, a haven of American grilled tiger prawn with Australian Angus beef tenderloin, finished with truffle-infused potato mousseline. To end the experience, guests enjoyed a Heritage Delight, a Chocolate Mocha Tart featuring Davao-sourced chocolate, bringing the global journey back home. Each course is masterfully crafted to take the palate on an elite journey, mirroring the luxury and exclusivity of the PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard.

The PNB-PAL Mabuhay Miles World Elite Mastercard brings to the table two companies under the Lucio Tan Group—Philippine National Bank and Philippine Airlines, in partnership with Mastercard.
