Applying the Tubular Neighborhood Theorem, we give a short and new proof of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle on a smooth manifold. The idea is as follows. Given a control system on a manifold $M$, we embed it into an open subset of some $\mathbb R^n$, and extend the control system to the open set. Then, we apply the Pontryagin Maximum Principle on $\mathbb R^n$ to the extended system and project the consequence to $M$.
