ABS-CBN among Philippines' 'best companies to work for in Asia'

ABS-CBN Corporation was named one of the Philippines' best companies to work for in Asia by a premiere publication for human resources professionals.

Also included on HR Asia's Philippine list are budget carrier Cebu Pacific, grocery chain Puregold, and consumer goods giant Unilever Philippines.

Archie Sabado, head of ABS-CBN's human resources, said the recognition validates the company's belief that people are key to the company's success.

"It is also a celebration of all the hard work and purposive initiatives that we have carefully crafted for the benefit our Kapamilyas," he said.

According to HR Asia, the companies are selected from different industries based on a survey that assesses companies' working environment, practices on human resources, employee engagement, and the resulting job satisfaction.

The publication's list covers 12 markets across the region including Hong Kong, Singapore, and China.
