Davao City, Philippines — February 2, 2026 — TP in the Philippines (formerly Teleperformance), a global 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.

Located at The Uprise at Felcris Centrale Mall, a PEZA-accredited development, TP Davao Uprise currently serves both global and domestic markets and is designed to scale as demand grows. Beyond operations floors, the site features a recruitment hub and employee-centric amenities, including a fully equipped gym, 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, a deep talent pool, and strong public–private collaboration, Davao enables TP to continue delivering world-class service to our clients.”

The site inauguration was attended by key regional officials and industry partners, including representatives from the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), Davao Chamber of Commerce and Industry, ICT Davao, Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Davao, and the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP).

MinDA Chair Leo Magno highlighted the IT-BPM industry’s role as one of the country’s fastest-growing sectors and a powerful driver of employment, exports, and digital transformation. “Investments such as TP’s expansion in the Davao Region translate national vision into concrete outcomes—creating quality, future-ready jobs for Mindanaoans,” he said, adding that TP’s continued growth sends a strong signal to both local and foreign investors that Mindanao is ready for business.

Domain-Ready Talent Pool

Davao City is home to over 100,000 IT-BPM professionals, making it the largest talent hub in Mindanao. Known for strong English proficiency and low attrition rates, the city’s workforce offers deep domain expertise, particularly in travel and hospitality services, including guest support, reservations, and itinerary logistics.

“People are at the center of our growth strategy,” 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 Growth Center

Davao City’s position as a leading digital hub is reinforced by its recognition as a Digital Cities Awardee, a DICT–IBPAP Center of Excellence, and its consistent ranking among the top 10 highly urbanized cities in the Department of Trade and Industry’s Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index.

Strategic Location and Connectivity

Centrally located, TP Davao Uprise anchors operations within the Davao Region—the principal trade and commercial hub of Mindanao—offering strong accessibility for talent and supporting workforce mobility and business continuity.

Its proximity to Francisco Bangoy International Airport, which is expected to expand to a 13-million passenger capacity, enhances domestic and international connectivity. The site is also near Sasa Wharf 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 TP’s established footprint in Mindanao, complementing existing operations in SM Davao in Matina, Cagayan de Oro City, and micro-site operations in General Santos City—positioning Mindanao as a strategic delivery cluster supporting the region’s fast-growing digital services sector.
