AMERICAN-OWNED Techlog Center Philippines is set to launch its fifth business process outsourcing (BPO) facility in the country with a new site opening in Cebu City by January 2026, expected to generate over 900 jobs.
The new site, located in Bonifacio Business Park, will handle both voice and non-voice IT-BPM operations, including data analysis, timekeeping, coding, document and payment processing and workforce management.
On May 21, 2025, Techlog signed a Supplemental Agreement with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) at its head office in Pasay City. The agreement formalizes the registration of Techlog’s Cebu project. The signing was led by Dexter Medilla, Techlog’s director for Finance and Accounting and Peza Director General Tereso Panga. They were joined by Peza deputy director general for Operations Vivian Santos and Techlog Workplace Operations director Patrick Joseph Reyes.
Peza said Techlog’s expansion supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in fostering inclusive and sustainable economic growth (SDG 8). The company’s focus on refurbishing and sustainably re-manufacturing used mobile phones and PCs also advances responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), as well as innovation and infrastructure development (SDG 9).
Since establishing operations in the Philippines, Techlog has invested more than P2.7 billion and employed over 6,800 Filipinos as of 2024.
“With the President’s directive to promote digitalization, Peza is committed to supporting more partnerships that drive technology and SDG-aligned investments in the country,” the agency said.
Cebu remains a top location for outsourcing firms due to its skilled workforce and improving infrastructure, according to property consultancy Colliers Philippines.
In the first quarter of 2025, office transactions outside Metro Manila reached 55,000 square meters, up 20 percent from a year ago. Cebu accounted for 18,000 square meters or 33 percent of that total, with BPO firms making up the majority of deals.
Colliers urged occupiers to take advantage of favorable lease conditions in Cebu’s tenant-driven market by pursuing new, high-quality office developments. / KOC
