Mayor Emano approves budget
for training of call center agents
City Mayor Vicente Y. Emano approved a P200,000 budget for the
training of prospective call center employees in Cagayan de Oro, in support to
the city government's promotion of the city as the country's information and
communications technology (ICT) goldmine.
Mayor Emano revealed today that the amount is the city government's
counterpart to a partnership project with the Phillip Morrris, Pueblo de Oro
Development Corporation and the Mindanao Polytechnic State College (MPSC) to
provide a quality skills training program for Cagayan de Oro residents who plan
to make a career in the call center business.
Mayor Emano said, this program will ensure a ready pool of skilled
manpower which can be utilized by existing and prospective call center
operators in Cagayan de Oro.
This, even as key ICT players in the country are eyeing on the vast
potential of Cagayan de Oro in the field of ICT investment because of its
well-placed infrastructure and amenities, stable peace and order condition, a
highly-skilled and highly-literate labor force, and a relatively cheaper cost
of living.
Aside from three existing call centers in the city, two
foreign-owned call centers are already set to relocate here in Cagayan de Oro
following the aggressive investment promotion made by Mayor Emano in his
latest trade mission to India and Germany.
Mayor Emano attributed the phenomenal growth of Cagayan de Oro as
the fastest booming economy in the country today, to the full support extended
by the local business community led by the Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce
and Industry Foundation, Inc. (Oro Chamber) and the strong collaboration among
Christians, Muslims and tribal people which helped maintain a peaceful
environment for the Cagayanons and visitors.
In line with his continuing effort to promote Cagayan de Oro as a
premier investment and tourism destination in the country today, Mayor Emano is
embarking on another trade mission to Australia and New Zealand in September
this year.
Mayor Emano is optimistic that his next trade missions will bear
good outcomes in terms of more foreign investors and tourists who will consider
the vast prospects of tourism and investment activities in Cagayan de Oro. (City
