MANILA&nbsp; -Budget carrier Cebu Pacific— the Philippines’ largest airline by market share and fleet size—is in talks for the possible acquisition of narrow body airliners from US planemaker Boeing to augment its jet aircraft fleet that has been the exclusive domain of Airbus for the better part of two decades.

More importantly, the Inquirer learned that the Gokongwei family-controlled firm is eyeing to establish an operations hub in the New Manila International Airport currently being built by conglomerate San Miguel Corp. in Bulacan as part of the airline’s expansion plans.

“Following disappointments regarding Airbus’ delays and (jet engine manufacturer) Pratt &amp; Whitney’s (supply chain issue) issues, Cebu Pacific’s executive leadership team met with Boeing in Seattle to explore the B737 fleet,” an airline executive told the Inquirer, referring to the popular 737 aircraft line that competes directly with the A320 line of its European rival.

The high-ranking executives of the Gokongwei family-controlled airline who visited Boeing’s manufacturing facility in Washington were its president Xander Lao, chief executive Michael Szucs, chief financial officer Mark Cezar, chief marketing officer Candice Iyog and vice president for customer service operations Lei Apostol.

On Tuesday, a ranking Cebu Pacific official told the Inquirer that the company plans to take advantage of the upcoming Bulacan airport—whose first phase may be operating by 2026, according to San Miguel —as its next operating hub.

“We are looking at a process for our narrowbody refleeting based on building another large base in Bulacan,” the official said. “So it will be a big enough base for us to operate Airbus from Naia (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) and either Boeing or Airbus for Bulacan depending on who gives us best deal.”

The airline’s shift in stance from being an exclusive operator of Airbus jets (augmented by twin-engined turboprops from French-Italian platemaker ATR) to starting exploratory talks with Boeing marks a significant shift in strategy for the airline that started operations in 1996 with second hand DC-9 aircraft.

Cebu Pacific operated three Boeing 757 narrowbody airliners for its international flights from 2001, but retired them in 2006. Since then, it has operated exclusively Airbus aircraft, saying that it realizes significant savings by using planes made only by one manufacturer.

ompany insiders said, however, that recent frustrations with Airbus and engine manufacturer Pratt &amp; Whitney — which the airline blamed for flight cancellations and aircraft groundings as a result of these firms’ supply chain issues — made it rethink this strategy.

At a certain point, the cost of being tied to single manufacturers starts to outweigh the savings, one executive explained.

Founder Dr. Cecilio K. Pedro established Lamoiyan in 1988, growing it from 20 employees to nearly 200 today, exporting over a dozen brands across APAC and MENA. A 100% Filipino family-run business, Joel Conrad Pedro steps into his father’s legacy of success in 2024.

Jovial, warm and direct, this 40-year-old Chief Executive is far from cut-and-paste. Joel went through the ranks paving his way to COO, then to CEO. An adventure glamper, car lover and concurrent CEO of Overland Kings, what can Joel bring to the table of a household and hygiene brand? Answer: A lot.

Says Joel, “You play with the cards that you're dealing with. So Lamoiyan is a card I am dealt with because it's a family business. Over the time we've been running this business, I'm blessed to have a good team with us without whom I cannot run my other business. That's the nature of this work.” 

The young CEO is stepping into leadership with solid business sense plus a reliable support system that allows freedom to explore other opportunities and interests. “Everybody needs passion here and there. I'm a businessman who likes the outdoors and cars, and I think everybody can agree that you need something to take your mind off things so you can do your main job excellently. My Overland Kings business is an outlet for me to be able to creatively give input on what else I do,” he adds.

Lamoiyan operates with core values of integrity, equality, and inclusion. Their brand is praised for prioritizing hearing-impaired individuals providing meaningful employment opportunities, and recognizing their community. Under its new CEO, the company reinforces these efforts through CSR initiatives like the creation of Silent Sanctuary, a self-sustaining school for the hearing-impaired that also serves as a glamping site.

As an outdoor enthusiast, Joel encourages clients to visit the site, with all proceeds supporting the school’s operations. “Silent Sanctuary is self-sustaining. It serves a clientele, and it's easier to tell people to go camping than just always asking donation money for them. If they enjoy nature, if they enjoy the facility, maybe they give a bigger tip. It is win-win. That's how we're able to sustain it.”

Win-win mentality and spotting opportunity from crisis are Lamoiyan traits. During the lockdown, Lamoiyan produced isopropyl and ethyl alcohol brands that helped stabilize business and avoided layoffs. 

“I think it's a matter of being excellent in what you have. I always believe in being a good steward of what you're given. At the end of the day, our mission and vision still goes back to helping the Filipinos, give them a product of quality, and affordable, that gives Filipinos products they can use. It's also important to do it excellently. Have an excellent team.”

Lhuillier’s Ka Negosyo Program to Provide Exclusive Financing for Xpress Driver
Partners

0%
Commission to Support Drivers Transitioning to Hybrid &amp; EVs

Manila, Philippines –
February 18, 2025 – The Xpress EV: Sustainable Rides, Pinoy Pride
event at Blue Leaf Pavilion, McKinley Hill, marked a major milestone in
Philippine transportation as Xpress, the country’s fastest-growing
ride-hailing platform, officially announced its partnership with BYD and
ACMobility to accelerate the shift to sustainable urban mobility.

BYD
and Xpress: Leading the Charge for Sustainable Mobility

Through this
collaboration, Xpress is taking a bold step toward electrifying its fleet,
integrating BYD’s industry-leading electric and hybrid vehicles into its
ride-hailing platform. The initiative aligns with Xpress’s long-term vision
of making EV adoption accessible, cost-effective, and beneficial for drivers
and passengers alike.

To further support
drivers making the transition from traditional vehicles to hybrid and electric
models, Xpress is rolling out a 0% commission program for a limited time.
During this transition period, drivers who operate EVs and hybrid
vehicles through Xpress will retain 100% of their earnings, helping
them recover their investment faster and realize the financial
benefits of sustainable mobility immediately.

Kickstarting
EV Adoption Through the Xpress Negosyo Program

Understanding that upfront
costs remain a major barrier to EV adoption, Xpress has launched the Negosyo
Program, securing the first batch of hybrid and electric vehicles to
provide drivers with an accessible pathway into the EV ecosystem.

Additionally, Xpress has
partnered with Cebuana Lhuillier’s Ka Negosyo Program, which is offering
exclusive financing options tailored for Xpress driver partners. This
initiative will provide affordable payment terms for EV and hybrid vehicle
purchases, focusing on drivers in Metro Manila and other key cities
nationwide.

Industry
Leaders Rally Behind Xpress’s EV Vision

During the event, Cliff
Cabungcal, President of Xpress, emphasized the transformational role of
this partnership in reshaping the ride-hailing industry.

"The future of
urban transport is sustainable, and Xpress is committed to leading this
transition. Our partnership with BYD allows us to integrate cutting-edge EV
technology into our platform, while our driver-support programs help ensure a
smooth and profitable transition for our partners," said
Cabungcal.

Jaime Alfonso Zobel de
Ayala, CEO of ACMobility, expressed his excitement for the
partnership, stating:

"Xpress is the
first ride-hailing company in the Philippines to implement such a
forward-thinking program. Their commitment to sustainability and driver
empowerment aligns perfectly with AC Mobility’s vision. Through our investment
in EV charging infrastructure, we are ensuring that this transition is not just
possible, but practical and accessible for drivers nationwide."

ACMobility has invested over
$100M in expanding EV charging networks, ensuring that Xpress EV drivers
will have access to reliable charging stations, even in previously
underserved areas.

Jean Henri Lhuillier,
Chairman of Xpress, reinforced Xpress’s role as a leader in EV adoption,
stating:

"The transition to
EVs is not just about sustainability—it’s about securing better earnings, lower
operating costs, and financial stability for our drivers as they become
entrepreneurs. That’s why Xpress is introducing a 0% commission program for a limited
time to support their transition. With the backing of Cebuana Lhuillier’s Ka
Negosyo Program, Xpress driver partners now have a pathway to EV ownership,
making this shift more accessible than ever."

A
Game-Changer for Philippine Ride-Hailing

The Xpress EV
initiative represents a transformational shift in Philippine
ride-hailing, combining industry-leading EV technology, driver financing
solutions, and infrastructure investment to create a clean, efficient,
and driver-first mobility ecosystem.

With BYD’s proven EV
technology, ACMobility’s nationwide charging network, and Xpress’s
commitment to empowering drivers, this initiative paves the way for a new
era of sustainable transport in the Philippines.
