Empowering people, making a difference: R.G. Manabat & Co. recognized as Best Employer

R.G. Manabat & Co. held outreach activities in collaboration with charitable institutions like the Arnold Janssen KALINGA Center to provide support for the vulnerable.

R.G. Manabat & Co. (KPMG in the Philippines) has once again been recognized as one of the country’s top employers in the 2026 edition of The Philippines’ Best Employers by the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Statista. Earning a place on the list for the fourth consecutive year highlights the firm’s consistent commitment to inclusivity, people, and purpose.

At the heart of this recognition is a culture that encourages employees to bring their whole selves to work. The firm champions inclusion through workplace initiatives while also supporting participation in events such as the annual Pride March and the Women’s Run. These engagements show that the value of diversity extends beyond the office and into the broader community.

That same commitment to people is reflected in the support the firm provides every day. Flexible work arrangements, access to medical and mental health consultations, and a network of trained peer supporters give employees avenues to seek guidance and maintain balance. Together, these create an environment where people can develop their potential, contribute fully, and thrive in their roles.

This culture of support also extends outward. Each month, R.G. Manabat & Co. partners with the AJ Kalinga Foundation to provide meals to over 350 vulnerable individuals, demonstrating the firm’s dedication to making an impact in communities. Initiatives like these show how the firm integrates social responsibility with its commitment to people, fostering a sense of purpose that resonates both inside and outside the workplace.

R.G. Manabat & Co.’s professionals participated in the Women’s Run, exemplifying its commitment to equality and the empowerment of women.

“Being recognized again as one of the Best Employers reflects the culture we continue to cultivate in our firm. Together with our people, we strive to create an environment where everyone can belong, grow, and contribute meaningfully, both in their work and in the communities they serve,” said Sharon G. Dayoan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of R.G. Manabat & Co.

This recognition celebrates the firm’s people-first approach and its culture of inclusion, showing that when employees are supported and empowered, they can make a positive impact every day—at work, with clients, and beyond the workplace.
