Cebu Pacific is not just flying high in the skies. It is making serious waves as an employer of choice. The Philippines’ leading carrier has earned Silver at the 2025 BusinessWorld Best Places to Work Awards, a strong signal that its people-first culture is more than just a slogan.

The airline secured two Silver distinctions, one for overall workplace excellence and another for strong performance in critical areas such as inclusion, support for persons with disabilities, age diversity, and employee wellbeing. Even more telling, Cebu Pacific was the only local airline recognized this year. In a high-pressure industry like aviation, that distinction speaks volumes.

“At Cebu Pacific, we focus on building systems and practices that allow our people to perform at their best, safely, inclusively, and with the support they need,” said Felix Lopez, Chief Human Resources Officer. His statement reflects a strategic mindset shared by leading HR experts. Sustainable performance in demanding industries depends on strong leadership, clear systems, and genuine investment in people, not short-term perks.

The award is based on an independent employee engagement survey by BusinessWorld in partnership with global platform WorkL. Companies are assessed on six engagement drivers: Reward and Recognition, Pride, Information Sharing, Empowerment, Wellbeing, and Job Satisfaction. Strong results across these areas typically correlate with higher retention, better career development, and healthier work environments, all factors that matter deeply to today’s job seekers.

This recognition builds on Cebu Pacific’s growing reputation as a top employer. In 2024, it became the first airline in Southeast Asia to receive the Great Place To Work® Certification. This year, it also appeared on Forbes’ World’s Best Employers list and was named among the Philippines’ Best Employers by the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Consistency across multiple rankings signals a workplace culture that is tested, measured, and proven.

For active job hunters, this is the real takeaway. Cebu Pacific offers more than brand prestige. It offers a workplace with verified employee support systems, inclusive policies, and leadership that understands the realities of demanding roles. As the airline expands to over 60 domestic and international destinations, it is also opening doors for professionals who want growth without sacrificing wellbeing. In a crowded job market, that combination is rare and worth a closer look.
