Mabuhay, also known as Mabuhay Magazine, is a monthly publication that serves as the inflight magazine of Philippine Airlines. Since July 2016 the magazine has been published by London-based Ink Global.

First published in 1982, publication of the magazine passed to Eastgate Publishing Corporation in 1988,[1] formerly owned by Max Soliven, publisher of The Philippine Star.[2] Eastgate continued to publish the magazine until Ink Global won the contract to publish it in 2016.[3] Under both publishers it has won several awards both local and international,[4] and both for its travel photography and its journalism.[5][6] The magazine, however, is not immune to criticism: in 2012, it was criticized for using transphobic language in its reporting of Jenna Talackova's entry in that year's Miss Universe Canada pageant — an act for which it later apologized and corrected in its digital edition.[7]

Publication of Mabuhay has been suspended owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, but is expected to resume once Philippine Airlines restarts its flights.[3]
