Cebu; IT Hub of The Phils
Cebu produces at least 23,000 fresh (college) graduates a year. Majority of these graduates are employable in any outsourcing company may it be voice (call center) or non-voice operation such as software development, medical transcription, accounting and legal outsourcing among others.
When Cebu City decided to shift into an IT destination back in 2001 instead of focusing on being a manufacturing investment destination, the IT industry here has continuously provided jobs. It now hires over 20,000 people.
Cebu is now the home of big IT firms and outsourcing giants in the world like Wipro, IBM, Accenture. Soon other industry giants like Tata Group of India, Hewlett Packard (HP), and Flour Daniels will make their presence here.
Last year, Cebu was ranked number three as in the world’s top emerging outsourcing destinations.

Discovering Cebu & The Rest Of The Islands
Welcome To Cebu....
The eastern province of Cebu is part of Philippines. The history of Cebu is very interesting. Earlier Cebu was known as Sugbo and its inhabitants lived in bamboo houses with their distinct architecture. The people were very ornate in their own way, tattoos, gold jewelry, silks and lip colors were used with abandon. The history of Cebu reveals that at one point of time it was the trade center and Chinese ships laden with goodies like silks and porcelains arrived with unfailing regularity. The goodies from the ships were exchanged for articles like gold, honey, wood and spices from Mollucas. With the arrival of the Spaniards, things changed for Cebu. From Cebu's history, it is known that Ferdinand Magellan with Spanish troops arrived in 1521 AD. Here the Spaniards got a good reception and most of the local villagers converted to Christianity including the ruler, Rajah Humabon. But reaching the slender Strait to Mactan Island, the Spaniards encountered stiff resistance from the locals. The process of colonizing Cebu started with the arrival of Legazpi and Fray Andres de Urdaneta in 1566 AD. The Spanish colonial rule continued for some time and eventually with the passage of time Cebu started coming out on her own. The municipality of Cebu was started in was started in 1905. Cebu was occupied by the Americans for some time , but now with all this behind her, Cebu is one of the most busy and thriving cities of the world.
