Multilingual call center Open Access BPO officially launched its new office in Davao City, Philippines last August 11, as spearheaded by company CEO Benjamin Davidowitz and President Henry Chang. The office is set to start its operations in mid-September this year.

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Davidowitz emphasized the company’s culture more than the organization’s infrastructure and marketing activities as the main key to the firm’s growth.

“When I looked inside Open Access BPO and looked for options to grow outside of Makati, there was really no other decision but Davao because two of the most special people of our company had moved here. So this is why we’re here and this is where we’re going to grow,” Davidowitz remarked.

According to Davidowitz, Open Access BPO prizes its employees above other factors, as he believes that they are the most important driver of any organization’s success. This has paved the way for the company’s recent progress, including its previous expansion in Taipei, Taiwan and its improved capacity to deliver customer service in 25 languages. He also promises an enabling work environment for Davaoeños through the company’s newly launched office.

“When you see [our call center] ... it’s gonna be much more warm and more humanistic. The type of work we’re going to be providing to [professionals in] this area is going to be [scheduled during the] daytime, so people can have a balance between family life and work,” he commented during the event press conference.

Single\Single Mini-Series Complete PressCon Video Coverage

Finally, we have the complete set of video coverage of the six-part video coverage of the Single\Single Press Conference held at the 14th floor of ELJ ABS-CBN building last August 13. So it took me 5 days uploading seven 10-minute videos to finally be able to show them all to yo in one blog article.

The delay was due to a problem we had with our PLDT Home Internet connection of which was poor in performance due to an ongoing maintenance in our area. That is according to PLDT Home. Customer service couldn't pinpoint what exactly is the problem since none of them are really made aware of the actual situation. All they could offer is for you to file a rebate as soon as the connection normalizes.

Single\Single features Shaina Magdayao and Matteo Guidicelli will be shown soon at Cinema One on August 29 at 8 pm with replays every Wednesdays at 8:30 pm and Sundays at 10 pm. Meanwhile Francis Kong will be giving weekly wealth management advises in the Philippine Star newspaper in relation to the episodes shown. This project is a partnership between Cinema One and The Philippine Star.
