BPO Sector Eyes Calabarzon For Its Wider Operation

The Philippines' business process outsourcing (BPO) sector is expanding its operations to the Calabarzon region, leveraging the abundance of talent and government incentives available in the area.

Celeste Ilagan, the chief Policy and Regulatory Affairs officer of the Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP), highlighted that Calabarzon provinces are welcoming the BPO industry with open arms.


BPO firms relocating to sites within the five-province Calabarzon region can enjoy tax holidays of up to two years.



The government offers more incentives to firms moving outside of Metro Manila, and the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) is actively encouraging infrastructure development to support the technology sector.


For example, Aboitiz InfraCapital is constructing a building dedicated solely to BPOs in Batangas, a province in the Calabarzon region.
