Provincial cities, such as Baguio, Davao and Dumaguete, have been identified as among the “next 10 cities” for the country’s business process outsourcing (BPO) sector. A report released by real estate consultancy firm Pinnacle showed that the government’s thrust for regional growth will further trigger the development of cities in provincial regions. The report said BPO companies re likely to look for other locations outside Metro Manila in the future to move away from tight competition for resources and skilled workers. Joining Baguio, Davao, and Damaguete in Pinnacle’s “next 10 cities” for BPO are Iloilo, Lipa, Metro Bulacan, Metro Cavite, Metro Laguna, Metro Naga, and Metro Rizal.
