"Participants were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their employers to friends and family and to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stood out either positively or negatively. This year's list comprises 800 companies that received the highest scores."
The recognition that it is one's of the world's best employers reaffirms that Aboitiz is indeed, as its website says, "one of the best-managed companies in the Philippines and in the region… consistently cited for its commitment to good corporate governance and corporate social responsibility."
