PR biz LAX-KUL $2608, SFO-BKK $2588
Based on an email I got from them. Via Manila, of course.
Email said: Book from March 1 - 15, 2020. Travel to the Philippines from April 1 - December 10, 2020 and to other destinations from April 1 - May 20, August 16 - November 30, December 30 - 31, 2020. Fares just to MNL are higher.
PR is not a member of any alliance but does run its own mileage program.
This may be just the first of many deals we see to Asia as the Corona Virus scare begins to die down!

Those are all the time fares. Not a bargain at all.
JL currently has a $2600 fare SFO-BKK. That is a relatively good deal (though not a screaming bargain and still borderline for this forum IMO).

And thanks to Kacee for the note that this is found in other places. I'd definitely pick JAL over Philippines if the fares were roughly the same.

If a terminal change is required, you’re looking at a 1.5hr ordeal involving an A/C-less waiting area and a rickety bus ride. Makes LHR/LAX seem pleasant in comparison.

RT...
Heads up SIN is also in the same range... these are nice fares but JAL is close on some dates (layovers need to be played with)
I'd pay $14 more for JAL any day of the week... better cabin, miles of course that layover needs to be fixed but did a random sample of dates....
Also LAX/SFO are served by 777s which in PR terms means recliners and 2-3-2 seating....

PR is running a promo that includes additional destinations.
Some of these fares don't show up on PR site. I had to book mine on Vayama to get the promo rate of $2987 RT JFK-MNL. PR site was showing $3400 for same booking.

for those worried about a tight connection in MNL. I had a terminal 4 to terminal 3 connection - (domestic to INTL). Hopped a white cab from outside T4, took 10 minutes to get to T3, did security/immigration. Took about 50 minutes. On days where it's crazy, I can definitely see it taking 1.5+ hours with waiting for your bags, etc.
I'd recommend 2.5+ hours, some people recommend 5.
