Cebu welcomes call center expansion

Rep. Eduardo Gullas (1st District, Cebu) has credited business process outsourcing provider Aegis PeopleSupport Inc. for its decision to build a new P685-million facility in Cebu City and engage an additional staff of 2,500, a press release from his office said.

"This is definitely most welcome, coming at a time when other firms are aggressively laying off workers, or have ceased hiring as result of the global economic meltdown," Gullas said.

He added that the BPO company’s move has also reinforced Cebu’s standing as a global hub for outsourced information technology-enabled services, with the province’s vast college-educated human resources and ample infrastructure and connectivity.

Through his campaign to build up the English and other foreign language skills of Filipinos, Gullas, an educator, has been a key congressional backer of the country’s booming BPO industry.

Aegis SeopleSupport, formerly PeopleSupport Inc., is one of the pioneers in the local BPO industry, the press release said.*
