Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading carrier, recognized its top performing corporate and government accounts at the 10th edition of the CEBBIZ Awards.
A total of 24 accounts from the country’s top 1,000 companies, government agencies, small and medium enterprises, and labor and shipping sectors were conferred with the CEBBIZ Award in a ceremony held at Dusit Thani Manila in Makati City.
A special award was also given to the Department of Budget and Management - Procurement Service as CEB’s invaluable partner for 2022.
The CEBBIZ Awards is an annual event that aims to recognize CEB’s top corporate account producers. The 2023 ceremony, which recognized the previous year’s top producers, was the first since 2019 after the awards were suspended for three years due to the pandemic.
“Through these awards, we hope you will all accept our gratitude for keeping Cebu Pacific strong despite the challenging times, and for helping the airline soar high again,” Arlene Tena, CEB Director for Passenger Sales and Distribution, told the awardees during the awarding ceremony.
To further show appreciation for their efforts, CEB took the awardees on a tour around Albay to explore the province’s stunning landscapes, delicious cuisine, and vibrant culture. The tour was in partnership with the Provincial Government of Albay, Albay Provincial Tourism, Culture, and the Arts Office and Misibis Bay Resort.
CEB is firmly in place for full recovery this year as it restores its pre-COVID network and capacity, aided by its unbeatable seat sales, widest domestic network, and reinstatement of its international destinations.
The airline currently flies to 35 domestic and 23 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

Going on your first trip to Europe could be an overwhelming experience. From saving up, booking your flights and accommodations, and planning your itinerary, to navigating customs regulations and dealing with unexpected situations, there are many things to consider and plan for.
While preparing for your first Eurotrip may feel like a daunting task, there are a lot of things to look forward to. Traveling is an exciting opportunity to experience new cultures, meet new people, and create lasting memories with your loved ones.
Travel restrictions continue to ease up, and more people are starting to feel comfortable traveling again, taking a much-needed vacation to make up for lost time during the pandemic. It has ignited a newfound wanderlust for some and rekindled the love for travel for many. The desire to travel and explore the world is stronger than ever.
Be prepared before you set off on your adventure. Here are some things you can expect and prepare for when planning your first Europe trip so you can just focus on having a great time.
Have the necessary travel documents
With or without health restrictions, there are several essential documents that you need to prepare before you leave. This is not simply limited to your valid passport and plane tickets. For destinations like Europe, a visa is required if you’re a Philippine passport holder. When travelling to EU countries like Spain, Italy, or France, a Schengen visa and Schengen-accredited travel insurance policy is required. Other European countries like the United Kingdom and Ireland have their own application and approval processes, so make sure to research and prepare before you schedule your visa application appointment.
Other necessary documents that you would need are your accommodation booking and itinerary details. With COVID-19 travel policies still in place in some destinations, travelers are also encouraged to have their vaccination certificates ready.
Different country, different cultures and restrictions
In Europe, the food, climate, and language can all be very different from what you're used to, but don't worry, as this is all part of the adventure! Discover what sets each country apart. Try their local delicacies, visit their historical and cultural landmarks, and interact with locals. Maybe go see the Vatnajökull National Park and Blue Lagoon in Iceland, or try the traditional margherita pizza from Italy, and even make new friends at Germany’s Oktoberfest – it’s a world of possibilities out there!
Apart from the different norms, double check as well if the European country you’re going to still has COVID-19 measures in place. These policies change often, so be sure to research about the countries you are visiting to avoid any unnecessary stress during your trip.
Travel safe
Whether or not it’s your first time travelling, safety should always be a top priority. Be alert and vigilant of your surroundings. When visiting unfamiliar places, it is best to have someone accompany you, preferably someone who knows the area.
Make sure to also bring any medications you are regularly taking as some countries in Europe might not have the exact medication you need or restrict the selling of controlled items to tourists. And even with the number of COVID-19 cases declining globally, make it a point to still practice necessary safety precautions and maintain good hygiene practices.
Seeking medical assistance in a foreign land such as Europe could also leave a dent on your finances. It is always beneficial to have a reliable travel insurance policy in place to protect yourself in case of any unexpected emergencies or any urgent medical and evacuation expenses due to COVID-19. Make sure to do your research and find the one that best suits your needs.
