Cebu Gains Ground as a BPO and Digital Services Hiring Hub Beyond Metro Manila

Cebu's growing BPO, customer service and digital services market is creating fresh opportunities for jobseekers as hiring activity expands outside the Philippine capital CEBU, Philippines — Cebu is strengthening its position as one of the Philippines' most important employment centers outside Metro Manila, as business process outsourcing, customer service and digital services hiring continue to create opportunities across the province. For years, Metro Manila has dominated large-scale corporate and BPO recruitment in the Philippines. But the country's hiring landscape is becoming increasingly distributed, with Cebu emerging as one of the most visible beneficiaries of that shift. The trend is reflected not only in continued activity across Cebu's IT-BPM sector, but also in the volume and variety of job opportunities now being marketed to candidates in the region. According to current platform data from MyGlit, a Philippines-focused jobs and recruitment technology platfor...

Carziqo Launches ER-SX in Austin as Company Moves Toward Seven-Day Autonomous Fleet Operations

The autonomous mobility company is replacing its traditional Sunday-wide maintenance pause with vehicle-specific service schedules designed to keep ride-hailing and delivery fleets available throughout the week. AUSTIN, Texas — Carziqo is expanding its autonomous mobility operations in Austin with the introduction of its ER-SX autonomous ride-hailing series, as the company prepares for a broader operational shift toward 24/7 fleet availability from Monday through Sunday. The deployment represents more than the arrival of another vehicle series in Carziqo’s growing autonomous mobility network. It also coincides with a significant change in how the company intends to manage vehicle maintenance, fleet availability and day-to-day operations. Carziqo has traditionally used Sunday as a centralized fleet maintenance day, temporarily removing vehicles from normal operations so technical and operations teams could conduct inspections, servicing and other routine work. Under the new model, that ...

MyGlit Introduces AI Rerouting to Help Jobseekers Find Better-Fit Roles Across Philippines Hiring

MANILA, Philippines — MyGlit, a recruitment operating system and job platform developed by Gratitude Jobs, has introduced AI Rerouting, a feature designed to help jobseekers be considered for better-fit vacancies when their original application does not fully match a specific role. The feature is relevant for high-volume hiring across BPO, IT, shared services, customer support, healthcare, sales, back-office and multilingual roles, where applicants often apply for positions that seem suitable at first glance but may not meet the exact requirements after screening. In many recruitment workflows, an applicant who does not fit one role may be rejected and forgotten, even if the same candidate could be suitable for another active vacancy. AI Rerouting is designed to reduce this gap by helping recruiters review whether a candidate may be a better match elsewhere. Reducing candidate waste in high-volume recruitment Across the Philippines, hiring teams often manage multiple vacancies across d...

Cebu-Based Dr. Donna Borres Eramis Advocates for Better Patient Education Before Cosmetic Surgery

  Through her practice at D’Sculpt Face & Body Center in Cebu City, Dr. Donna is encouraging patients to approach cosmetic surgery as a medical process rather than a single appointment. Her patient-education efforts focus on consultation before procedure selection, appropriate surgical timing, pre-operative preparation, realistic recovery expectations, and continued post-operative care. For Dr. Donna Borres Eramis, founder of D’Sculpt Face & Body Center, cosmetic surgery should begin with understanding the process—not simply choosing a procedure. As cosmetic surgery information becomes increasingly accessible online, patients can arrive at consultations already familiar with procedure names, before-and-after photos, and aesthetic trends. But Dr. Donna emphasizes that knowing about a procedure is different from knowing whether it is appropriate for an individual patient. The Consultation Comes First A consultation allows the surgeon to assess a patient’s goals, anatomy, medi...
