“Our people are our strength, and earning this recognition validates the positive, enabling, and dynamic workplace we’ve built together.”
Vis-Min property developer Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI) has been awarded the prestigious Great Place to Work® certification after 93 percent of its employees declared it a great place to work.
This figure is significantly higher than the Philippine average of 65 percent, reflecting CLI’s commitment to being an employer of choice in the Visayas and Mindanao region.
With more than 1,000 employees across various departments and subsidiaries, CLI has built a strong, high-performance culture. The company’s success is driven by its core values, achieving top scores in leadership, pride, camaraderie, integrity, and employee engagement.
“This certification is a dream realized for CLI as we strive to be a best-in-class employer for our team,” said Joanna Marie Soberano-Bergundthal, CLI senior vice-president for human resources and marketing.
“Our people are our strength, and earning this recognition validates the positive, enabling, and dynamic workplace we’ve built together. It also gives us valuable insights to improve further as an employer.”

CLI used a company-wide employee survey through Great Place to Work to assess and improve its workplace environment. Nearly 600 employees, with a 65 percent response rate, provided feedback on various aspects of their work life.
CLI’s workforce spans a wide range of departments, including Business Development, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Accounting, Legal, and more. The company operates with subsidiaries such as CLIPM (property management), CLI Hotels and Resorts, and CLI Foundation.
“This recognition is just the beginning. It motivates us to continue fostering a culture where every employee feels valued, supported, and inspired to pursue excellence,” Soberano-Bergundthal added.
With this certification, CLI reinforces its dual goal of remaining the top real estate developer in VisMin while also being a top employer in the Philippines.
