The holiday season in the Philippines is more than just lights, carols, and noche buena — it’s about love made tangible through a simple yet powerful gesture: the padala. For millions of Filipinos, especially those working far from home, sending money is a way to say “Mahal kita, miss kita, at nandito pa rin ako.”
To make that heartfelt connection easier this Christmas, the Palawan Group of Companies is lowering domestic remittance fees through Palawan Express Pera Padala. From October 1 to December 31, 2025, customers can enjoy a 1% service fee on every domestic remittance send-out transaction — just one peso for every one hundred pesos sent. For transactions amounting to Php 20,001 and above, regular rates will apply.
Those using the PalawanPay app can also enjoy the same 1% rate when sending funds to any Palawan Express branch via the app, making it even simpler to share malasakit (care) and love during the season of giving.
Whether it’s for noche buena groceries, a godchild’s aguinaldo, or a small “thinking of you” surprise, Palawan Express ensures that your hard-earned money stretches further — helping bridge the distance between hearts and homes.
alawan Group CEO Karlo M. Castro said, “Palawan Group is proudly 100% Filipino — run by Filipinos to serve Filipinos. A padala has always been more than just money. It’s a message of love, care, and connection. With our Mas Pinababang Fees promo, we want to make it easier for families to send love this Christmas, no matter how far apart they may be.”
Behind every padala, a story of love
Across thousands of Palawan Express Pera Padala branches and outlets nationwide, each transaction tells a story — stories of love, sacrifice, and connection that define the Filipino spirit.
There’s a mother in Manila sending her 13th-month pay to her parents in Cagayan to help prepare for Christmas visitors. A son in Cebu sending extra money for his siblings’ new shirts in General Santos. A grandmother in Bicol making sure her grandchildren’s toys arrive on time for Christmas morning.
“These small yet powerful acts of love inspire us to do what we do best — to be the bridge of malasakit among Filipino families. Palawan Express remains mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos-balungos (affordable, fast, and hassle-free),” said Chief Marketing Officer Bernard Kaibigan.
This Christmas, let every padala carry not just money, but a piece of your heart. With Palawan Express Pera Padala and PalawanPay, show your loved ones that distance can never stop the warmth of family and the joy of giving. Because in every remittance lies a message — one that says, “Mahal kita. Malayo man, magkalapit pa rin tayo.”
