Cathay Pacific, four-time World's Best Airline honoree, chose 15 UPIS students to be the participants in the pioneer installment of their I Can Fly program in the Philippines.

I Can Fly aims to encourage the interest of high school students in aviation and social service by giving them firsthand exposure to the airline industry. Out of more than 60 hopefuls, the airline's executives selected seniors Ernest Arceo, Caila Cadiz, David de Layola, Fiel Delos Reyes, Ryan Dimayuga, Brian Gabriel, RJ Gallebo, Lyka Lubang, Caitlin Norona, Hazel Romero, Nica Sampan, Chesca Santiago, Marianne Sasing, Danna Sumalabe, and Layla Wadi to take part in the program.

From May 25-28, the students were introduced to Cathay's corporate operations and had a hand on making promotional materials for its Life Well Travelled campaign. They got to see the airline's engineers, ground staff, and cabin crew in action at the Clark and Manila airports and assisted in a basketball clinic in an orphanage.

The program concluded with a graduation ceremony on May 30 where the students were given medals and certificates of participation. Cathay Pacific also chose three of them—Delos Reyes, Norona, and Sasing—to visit the airline's Hong Kong office in October this year. / CCCA
