Cebu Pacific Marks 9 Years of UNICEF Change for Good with Youth Career Talk, Airport Tour

Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), the Philippines’ leading carrier, celebrated nine years of partnership with UNICEF Philippines’ Change for Good campaign by hosting a career talk and airport tour for select Alternative Learning System (ALS) learners from the Department of Education (DepEd) Schools Division of Angeles City, in Clark, Pampanga.

 

The event, held on August 8, brought together CEB employees, ALS learners, DepEd officials, and UNICEF Philippines representatives. It aimed to inspire learners to explore careers in aviation and offered a behind-the-scenes look at airport operations.

 

ALS is a DepEd program that provides out-of-school youth and adults with practical options to complete basic education outside the traditional school system. All the learners who participated in the event are beneficiaries of the Change for Good campaign.

 

During the career talk, CEB employees shared their personal journeys in aviation and highlighted the diverse roles available in the industry. Afterwards, participants toured Clark International Airport with CEB employees and airport officials, visiting check-in counters, security screening areas, and the arrivals hall. The experience offered a first-hand look at how different teams work together to ensure safe and seamless travel for passengers.

 

Change for Good is a partnership between CEB and UNICEF Philippines that allows passengers to donate loose change onboard flights. Since its launch, the program has raised over PHP 112 million (USD 2.13 million), supporting UNICEF projects in education, health, nutrition, and emergency response for vulnerable children across the Philippines.

“The collective generosity of Cebu Pacific passengers has transformed the lives of thousands of children across the Philippines, especially those vulnerable communities” said Carmen Gonzalez Ortiz, UNICEF Philippines Chief of Private Sector Fundraising and Partnerships. “Every peso contributed is a vital investment to their future—providing them with opportunities to learn, thrive, and build a better tomorrow for themselves and their communities.”

 

CEB remains the only Change for Good airline partner in Southeast Asia and the sole carrier directing all donations exclusively to programs within the Philippines.
