Local officials are actively supporting these initiatives to ensure that young graduates have high-quality employment opportunities right at home.

A Growing Technology Landscape

The arrival of global firms is sparking a wave of development around the former Tagbilaran Airport site, which is currently being repurposed into a vibrant IT hub. By fostering a climate that is friendly to new investments, the city has successfully attracted market research and outsourcing companies that recognize the reliability and excellence of the Boholano workforce. This professional influx is helping to raise the standard of the local labor market, encouraging more companies to consider the island for their operational expansions. It is an exciting transformation that is creating a sustainable path for career growth in the tech field.

Commitment to Business-Friendly Governance

Tagbilaran’s four-year streak as the "Most Business-Friendly City" in the country is a key factor in attracting these tech-driven companies. The local government provides clear pathways for businesses to set up operations, removing administrative roadblocks and providing essential support for talent recruitment. By partnering with institutions like the Bohol Island State University, the city is aligning its educational output with the specific needs of the tech industry. This synergy between academe and industry ensures that the province remains competitive on a national and international scale.

Building a Resilient Economic Future

For many, the growth of the IT-BPM sector is a sign that the province is successfully navigating the transition toward a more diverse and resilient economic structure.
