According to a press release from Philippine Airlines, it will now start adding the 12% VAT as mandated by law.

In compliance with Republic Act No. 9337, an act amending the National Internal Revenue Code, a 12% VAT is added to the total amount quoted on all transactions involving purely domestic services only.

This is on top of the rising fuel surchages. Expect fare hikes soon.
