If it's a degree you studied separately to your pilot license then it would count. If not, then they will require a full 3/4 year degree on top of your license.

Commercial pilot diploma? Is that a degree issued by an accredited university or just a fancy way of saying your pilot license?

Well i went to college on top of my Pilot's Licence to get the "Commercial Pilot Diploma" It's completely separate from my pilot's licence. I have a Diploma not a Degree. Im really curious if they will accept it. Cause like Air Canada or West jet here requires "Degree or Diploma"

You have a commercial pilots license, have a diploma in aviation, want to work in the Philippines. Must have been pursuing this career for a number of years and are asking these sorts of questions??

Took me all of 10 seconds to find this.
You need to be far more committed and resourceful if you are going to make it in your chosen career.

Is the reason to live in The Philippines? Then that would make sense as why you want to be in PAL.
There are also other jobs in many of the other airlines.
Lots of other airlines will take you without your college degree in Orchid Pruning.
I guess they require college degrees for PAL since it’s the belief that it sets people apart in their flying skills.
The school system is poor so that is one way of proving you have hope of learning what the airlines need to teach you for your type rating. And the ability to explain yourself and why you do what you’re doing if you were ever put on the spot which most people can’t do over there.
