Techlog to invest P877 million in new Cebu IT facility

Techlog Center Philippines is expanding its operations with a new P877-million information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) facility in Cebu City, a move expected to bolster the local digital economy and generate nearly a thousand jobs.

The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) confirmed on Tuesday that it signed a supplemental agreement with the American-owned IT-BPM firm on May 21, outlining fresh incentives under the country’s ecozone program for the new project.

Slated to open by January 2026, the Cebu facility will be Techlog’s fifth major site in the country, joining a growing network of operations across Luzon and the Visayas.

PEZA Director General Tereso Panga said the new project will provide both voice-based customer service and non-voice functions, including data analytics, timekeeping, document and payment processing, coding, and workforce management.

“This is part of our effort to attract more IT-BPM investments that align with the government’s digitalization and sustainability goals,” Panga said.

The upcoming Cebu site is expected to create 925 jobs, further boosting Techlog’s current workforce of over 6,800 employees. The company has already invested more than P2.7 billion in the Philippines as of 2024, PEZA said.

The agreement also reflects PEZA’s continuing push to attract technology-driven enterprises, in line with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call for accelerated digital transformation and enhanced support for sustainable development.

From January to April this year, PEZA-approved investments have more than doubled, reaching P63.52 billion — a 112-percent increase from the P29.96 billion recorded during the same period last year.

In total, investment pledges registered with PEZA reached P214.18 billion in 2024.
