TP officially opens its 26th site in the
Philippines with the launch of TP Davao Uprise situated at the Felcris Centrale
in Davao City.
TP in the Philippines (formerly
Teleperformance), a leader in digital business services, today announced the
launch of TP Davao Uprise, its second site in Davao City and fourth across
Mindanao, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to regional growth,
talent development, and inclusive job creation in the Philippines.
Located at The Uprise at Felcris Centrale Mall, a PEZA-accredited
development, the new site currently serves global and domestic markets and
scalable for expansion as needed. Apart from the operations areas, the site
also houses a recruitment hub and several recreational spaces including a fully
equipped gym, a karaoke room, and a basketball half court.
“The launch of TP Davao Uprise reflects our confidence in Davao City as a strategic growth hub and in Mindanao as a critical pillar of the country’s IT-BPM industry,” said Rahul Jolly, CEO of TP in the Philippines. “With scale-ready infrastructure, deep talent pool, and strong public–private collaboration, Davao continues to enable us in TP to deliver world-class service to our clients.”
Key regional
officials from Davao’s local government units and industry partners were
present at the opening of TP Davao Uprise including Mindanao Development
Authority (MinDA), Davao Chamber of Commerce and Industry, ICT Davao,
Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) in Davao, and
the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP).
The new TP Davao site is anticipated to boost TP’s operations in Mindanao as the region is primarily known for its strong talent pool for English-proficient professionals.
Easily accessible for
applicants, TP’s second Davao site is strategically located within The Uprise
Mall in Felcris Centrale.
MinDA Chair
Leo Magno shared how the IT-BPM industry is one of the fastest growing sectors
of our economy and a powerful driver of job creation, exports, and digital
transformation. “Investments such as TP's expansion in the Davao Region
translate the national vision into concrete outcomes - generating quality,
future-ready jobs for Mindanaoans.”
He further
adds, that “as TP continues to expand its footprint in Mindanao, it also
creates a strong demonstration effect. It sends a clear message to other
investors, both local and foreign, that Mindanao is open, capable and ready for
business.”
Domain-Ready
Talent Pool
Davao City is
home to over 100,000 IT-BPM professionals, the largest talent hub in Mindanao
and expanding since last year. The region is well-known for a strong talent
pool for English proficiency and low attrition. The city’s workforce offers
deep domain expertise, particularly in travel and hospitality services,
supporting functions such as guest services, reservations, and itinerary
logistics.
“People are at the center of our growth strategy, and Davao continues
to prove itself as a destination for resilient, highly capable, and
customer-focused talent,” said Jeffrey Johnson, Chief People Officer of TP in
the Philippines. “TP Davao Uprise expands our ability to provide meaningful
employment, career mobility, and skills development while supporting clients
that require specialized, domain-ready teams.”
Recognized Digital and Business Hub
Davao City’s position as a leading digital growth center is reinforced
by its recognition as a Digital Cities Awardee and a DICT–IBPAP Center of
Excellence, as well as its ranking in the top 10 of the 33 highly urbanized
cities in the DTI’s Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index in the past
years.
The launch of TP Davao Uprise marks the next phase of expansion,
underscoring TP’s long-term investment in Mindanao as a growth engine for both
the company and the national economy.
Strategic Location and Connectivity Advantage
Situated in the center of Davao City, TP Davao Uprise anchors
operations within the growing Davao Region economy, the principal trade and
commercial hub of Mindanao. The site offers strong visibility and access to a
growing consumer and talent base, supporting workforce mobility and business
continuity.
Its proximity to Francisco Bangoy International Airport, which is set
to scale up to 13 million passenger capacity this year, strengthens domestic
and international connectivity. The site is also near Sasa Wharf, supporting
passenger terminal access, and is future-ready with major infrastructure
projects underway, including the High Priority Bus System and the proposed
102-kilometer Mindanao Railway.
TP Davao Uprise builds on the company’s strong presence in Mindanao
complementing its existing operations in SM Davao in Matina (Davao City),
Cagayan de Oro City, and micro-site operations in General Santos City. Together, these locations position Mindanao
as a strategic delivery cluster supporting the region’s fast‑growing digital services sector.
TP’s expansion marks the company’s strong
confidence in Davao City as a strategic growth hub and with Mindanao as a
critical pillar for the country’s IT-BPM industry.
