“Kalokohan.” “Basagin ang aking kaluluwa.”
These are just some of the translated album descriptions that a flight passenger noticed on his first time flying a plane with an entertainment system.
X user @adriandegu shared that he was amused at the Filipino translations of album descriptions in the in-flight entertainment system of a Philippine Airlines flight.
“First time riding a @flyPAL plane with an entertainment system and saw the album descriptions like this… ‘Ang Pinakamalungkot na Oras, ‘Hayaang Nakabukas ang Pintuan,’ ‘Kalokohan,’ ‘Basagin ang Aking Kaluluwa,'” he wrote on March 21.
The user posted photos of some of the album descriptions of artists Carly Rae Jepsen, Silk Sonic, Sabrina Carpenter and Beyonce.

“Hi, Adrian! We’re checking this over on our end. While we’re happy this amused a lot people, we are sorting this out to enhance the IFE content available for our passengers to enjoy. Thanks for raising this!”
IFE refers to in-flight entertainment.
Adrian responded that it was “cute,” which other users agreed with.
“Ok lang ‘yan. Aliw nga eh,” a user said to the flag carrier’s account.
In PAL’s in-flight entertainment, passengers can watch movies, series and listen to music.
Its availability varies, depending on the passenger’s flight route.
