Global BPO firm taps FILRT for first Philippines office

MANILA, Philippines — A global business process outsourcing (BPO) player has tapped Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT) for its first office in the Philippines.

FILRT said it has signed an agreement with Gear Inc for the lease of 1,993-square meter of premium office space in the company’s Filinvest One Building in Muntinlupa, with an expansion option within the same building.

“We are thrilled to welcome Gear Inc to our Northgate Cyberzone Community. This lease agreement reflects our dedication to providing world-class office spaces that attract companies in the technology sector. We are grateful to Gear Inc for its confidence that FILRT facilities will effectively support Gear Inc’s business needs,” FILRT president and CEO Maricel Brion-Lirio said.

FILRT’s Filinvest One Building is a Grade A, Philippine Economic Zone Authority -accredited, EDGE Advanced-certified office building located in Northgate Cyberzone in Filinvest City.

FILRT said the infrastructure is tailored to support the expanding operations and strategic growth initiatives of companies.

Gear provides top-tier service to the leading global brands by investing in technology, people and operations.

Headquartered in Singapore, the company powers business growth with over 6,000 professionals from East, South, and Southeast Asia, North and South America, as well as Europe Middle East and Africa.
