MANILA, Philippines – Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, has once again ascended to the pinnacle of talent recognition, securing the prestigious LinkedIn Best Employer Brand award at the 2026 LinkedIn Talent Awards. This remarkable achievement marks the airline’s third consecutive win in the highly competitive category for organizations employing 5,000 to 10,000 individuals, solidifying its position as a global leader in talent attraction and retention.

The annual LinkedIn Talent Awards rigorously celebrate organizations that not only excel in attracting and engaging top-tier talent but also in fostering deep, lasting connections with their workforce. Cebu Pacific’s unprecedented hat-trick victory is a powerful testament to its unwavering commitment to cultivating an exceptional workplace culture built on authenticity, continuous engagement, and a transparent articulation of its core values.

“As Cebu Pacific proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary, our guiding principle remains crystal clear: a truly impactful employer brand isn’t merely crafted through campaigns; it’s forged in the crucible of everyday experiences,” stated Felix Lopez, CEB Chief Human Resources Officer. “When our people genuinely feel a profound sense of pride in their work and eagerly share their ‘why’ with others, that’s when we know we’ve struck the right chord. At Cebu Pacific, our employees aren’t just colleagues; they are the architects of vibrant communities. This intrinsic sense of belonging is an organic phenomenon that cannot be manufactured, and it is a treasure we diligently nurture day in and day out.”

At the heart of Cebu Pacific’s award-winning strategy lies CEB University, the airline’s groundbreaking in-house learning ecosystem. This robust platform, featuring eight specialized schools, empowers employees to embark on a continuous journey of skill enhancement, expertise deepening, and the pursuit of clearly defined career pathways across diverse functions and leadership tiers. It underscores CEB’s commitment to internal growth and professional development, ensuring its workforce remains at the forefront of the aviation industry.

Further enriching CEB’s distinctive culture are the 16 Juan CEB Communities (JCC)– dynamic, employee-led groups born from shared interests and advocacies. These communities are vital incubators of connection, inclusion, and purpose across the entire organization. A shining example is EmpowHER, a powerful initiative dedicated to championing the growth and advancement of women through targeted mentorship, collaborative opportunities, and leadership development programs, fostering an environment where all employees can thrive.

Beyond its internal triumphs, Cebu Pacific is also deepening its significant contribution to nation-building through its visionary Juan Flight Closer to Home program, launched in May 2025. This impactful initiative actively encourages overseas Filipino aviation professionals to return to their homeland, offering compelling opportunities to resume their careers in the Philippines. By attracting global expertise back to the country, the airline not only strengthens the local aviation industry but also facilitates invaluable reconnections with family and community, embodying a profound commitment to national development.

Cebu Pacific currently operates an extensive network spanning 35 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. The airline’s sustained investment in its people remains a fundamental cornerstone of its long-term strategic vision, recognizing that a highly engaged and skilled workforce is paramount to its continued success and the delivery of world-class service.
