New Philippine call centers to amass an extra $15–$25 M in revenues

It seems that the Philippine business process outsourcing (BPO) industry is never running out of good news and laudable developments.
The Information Technology-Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) is currently grooming 10 new next-wave cities conducive to the growth of Philippine call centers. These locations, which will be revealed in the first quarter of 2016, are predicted to generate $15 to $25 million worth of additional revenues for the outsourcing giant, according to estimates released by IBPAP chairman Dan Reyes.
The IBPAP regularly selects 10 next-wave cities, which are judged according their capacity to empower outsourcing companies. The criteria used to evaluate them include availability of tech-savvy and English-proficient professionals, robust IT infrastructure, and safety and security.

New next-wave cities

Currently, the 10 next-wave cities are Baguio City, Davao City, Dumaguete City, Iloilo City, Lipa City, Metro Bulacan, Metro Cavite, Metro Laguna, Metro Naga, and Metro Rizal. The Philippine outsourcing organization, however, now eyes new emerging BPO cities scattered all over the country. These include prospective sites in Mindanao, such as Cagayan de Oro and Zamboanga, along with Luzon cities in the provinces of Bataan, Batangas, Quezon, and Bicol, as announced by Reyes during the US-Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Coalition Forum, November 18.
Each next-wave city is expected to start hiring at least 1,000 full-time employees within the first few years. Depending on the nature of work, each employee is estimated to contribute $15,000 to $25,000 worth of yearly revenues. Reyes cited Baguio City as an example, which started with just 300 employees and now employs 20,000 professionals working in various outsourcing companies.
Reyes explained that employment rates fully depend on a city s capacity. Those with more college graduates have a bigger power to attract several industry players. Furthermore, he emphasized that Philippine outsourcing cities can focus on a specific BPO niche depending on the skills of their graduates.

What this means for the national BPO industry

Channeling the country s efforts toward developing new next-wave cities opens fresh opportunities for Filipino professionals as well as local and foreign investors. The emergence of new Philippine call centers strengthens the government s commitment to create bright career paths for Filipinos in different parts of the country. Moreover, investors seeking an alternative to established BPO cities such as Metro Manila and Metro Cebu will find viable and competent sites for outsourcing.
The Philippine BPO industry aims to employ at least 1.3 million professionals and generate $25 billion in revenues by 2016. The establishment of new BPO cities can greatly help the international outsourcing capital to move toward achieving these goals.

Open Access BPO conducted Plant It Forward, a two-part tree-planting initiative, held in Laguna and Davao in May and June 2025.

Volunteers from both activities planted 300 Philippine indigenous trees, which were selected to help maintain the biodiversity in the area.

“This program is more than just planting trees; it’s about cultivating a culture of social responsibility within our organization and demonstrating our commitment to the communities where we operate,” said Joy Sebastian, Global VP at Open Access BPO.

This is only the start. Open Access BPO vows to continue investing in such environmental projects, affirming its core value of creating positive impact.

We’ve made yet another bold move.

Just last month, TDCX Group launched Chemin to help the world’s most ambitious companies realize their AI goals — faster, safer, and smarter.

To accelerate our ambition, the Group has acquired SUPA, a cutting-edge data annotation platform known for its agile, gig-powered model and elite talent network.

SUPA will now be part of Chemin, as we make moves to deepen our ability to support everything from training foundational models to safeguarding mission-critical AI systems.

“The future of customer experience is AI-powered, and AI itself runs on increasingly complex, curated data. SUPA brings us the right capabilities and talent frameworks to fuel that future. By embedding SUPA into Chemin, we’re doubling down on our ability to support enterprise and frontier AI labs with world-class data operations,” says Laurent Junique, CEO and Founder, TDCX Group.

As the demand for precision, scalability, and human-in-the-loop intelligence grows, we look forward to delivering the kind of nuanced data interpretation and domain expertise today’s frontier AI requires.
