And before you go all bashy on PR: Manny Pangilinan does not own the airline. Lucio Tan does.
So they block 4 of 12 seats for Handicapped passengers? When was the last time I saw 4 handicapped passengers in J...Never. As far as holding seats for Mabuhay Elite members, most of the PAL J flights I've been on are rarely full in J so no point holding up to 8 seats for them either. In fact with a good portion of the discounted Y fares not accruing miles, I cannot imagine there are many Elite members left.

And I know Manny doesn't own the airline, but its still a lame policy. Since I cannot vent to PAL ("deer in headlights" agents), I choose to vent here.

Its a pity they are the best that the Philippines has to offer...with competition like Cebu Pacific and Zest I guess they can do what they like.
