TP Opens Second Davao BPO Site, Expands Mindanao Operations
TP Davao Uprise is the second site of TP in the Philippines, and its fourth in Mindanao.
TP in the Philippines (formerly Teleperformance) launched TP Davao Uprise, its second site in Davao City and fourth in Mindanao.
TP Davao Uprise expands the company’s presence in Mindanao, complementing its operations in SM Davao in Matina (Davao City), Cagayan de Oro City, and micro-site operations in General Santos City.
Located at The Uprise at Felcris Centrale Mall, the site houses operations areas, a recruitment hub, and several recreational spaces for employees.
“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 [information technology and business process management] industry,” said Rahul Jolly, CEO of TP in the Philippines.
Davao’s Workforce
Davao City is home to more than 100,000 IT-BPM professionals, according to TP in the Philippines. The city is known for a strong talent pool for English proficiency and low attrition. Its workforce offers expertise 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.
“As TP continues to expand its footprint in Mindanao, it also creates a strong demonstration effect,” he said. “It sends a clear message to other investors, both local and foreign, that Mindanao is open, capable and ready for business.”
New Site
The new site offers 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 in 2026, allows the site to be connected to domestic and international markets and clients.
TP Davao Uprise is also located near Sasa Wharf and major transit links, including the upcoming High Priority Bus System and the proposed 102-kilometer Mindanao Railway.
Regional officials from Davao’s local government units and industry partners attended the opening of the new site, including the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), the Davao Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines.
MinDA Chair Leo Magno said during the site’s opening that the IT-BPM industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Philippine economy and a 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.”
