Five Deaf persons who are members of PALEA (Union of PAL) are those included in the retrenchment by Philippine Airlines. Was able to meet 3 of them.
Juan Escalante has been working in the Pastry section for 33 years; Noel Po and Narcisco Alino have been working in the hot kitchen for 30 years.Almost all have been with PAL since finishing their vocational course. Noel was surprised when he received a text saying that he should not anymore go to work since there has been retrenchment. No one from PAL explained the move to them and they just knew of the decision from their colleagues.

PAL has implemented a massive retrenchment to make way for outsourcing. Juan knows that he is a regular employee of PAL and was caught off guard. All are married with children. They have been loyal and hardworking members of the company and have known PAL as family. They are hopeful for a positive outcome of the strike
