"I thank the Baguio City officials and all those who are supporting our entry into the area and I look forward to meeting with all of our new employees when we open the centre in the coming months," Zamora said.

The company has 13 additional facilities throughout the Philippines — eight located across Metro Manila, three in Cebu City, one in Bacolod City, and one in Santa Rosa, Laguna.
