The airline also surpasses global benchmarks for women in leadership, runs internship programs for neurodiverse students, and extends health and travel benefits to same-sex and common-law partners.

"Our workforce—spanning 31 nationalities, 15 employee groups, and people of all genders, faiths, and abilities—enables Cebu Pacific to adapt, grow, and deliver for our customers. This recognition belongs to our teammates who support and uplift one another. At Cebu Pacific, we don't just move people; we move progress," said Felix Lopez, CEB Chief Human Resources Officer.

CEB also remains the only low-cost carrier n Southeast Asia to secure a sustainability-linked loan, directly tying its financing terms to its emission-reduction goals.

"Sustainability is integral to Cebu Pacific's growth strategy," said Aileen Isidro, Vice President for CEB Corporate Strategy and Risk Officer. "By aligning affordable travel with responsible operations, we ensure that our expansion is both competitive and future-ready."

With a network spanning 36 domestic and 27 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East, CEB continues to strengthen its role as a champion of inclusive and sustainable travel, while staying true to its mission of providing affordable and accessible flights for every Juan.
