Osmeña assures support for BPO industry

The Freeman

|

June 22, 2025

Incoming Vice-Mayor Tomas Osmeña vowed to support the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry by ensuring the presence of a dedicated transport system, work-study facilities, and addressing safety issues, especially for the night shift workers.

Last Thursday, June 19, in a meeting with a BPO company, Osmeña shared his plans in supporting the BPO industry.

Osmeña laid out some of the struggles and challenges faced by night shift workers, which primarily centers on transportation problems and safety issues.

There are three concepts that Osmeña aims to realize providing dedicated shuttle buses for BPO agents, supporting single mothers by introducing a housing-and-employment framework, and a work-study program for young individuals who are unable to finish college.

For these to be realized, Osmeña said he has been in search of a reliable BPO company who also wished and shared the same goal as him.
