“We are proud to say that through Filinvest Cyberzone Cebu Towers 1 and 2, approximately 29,000 new jobs were created, while for the upcoming Towers 3 and 4, we expect to generate approximately 21,000 new jobs from the office spaces alone. Our retail spaces are expected to add another 1,000 jobs,” said Filinvest REIT president Maricel Brion-Lirio, who was also at the ceremony on Wednesday.

During the turnover of Tower 2, FLI, led by president and chief executive officer Josephine Gotianun Yap, also unveiled a marker to commemorate its partnership with the Province of Cebu for Filinvest Cyberzone Cebu. “Filinvest Cyberzone Cebu is one of our biggest investments in the province. Through this development, we aim to provide world-class office spaces to empower global and local businesses to thrive in Cebu. We are ever grateful for the support of our joint venture partner, the Province of Cebu, led by Gov. Gwen Garcia,” said Gotianun Yap.

Garcia looks forward to the completion of the remaining two towers, saying this would further increase the assets of the Province, enabling it to help more Cebuanos.“As I always said, being the richest province in the country is a meaningless honor if I cannot translate that to actual services for the Cebuanos, if I cannot translate that to a better life. We cannot do everything, but at least for majority of the Cebuanos, especially those who really need help,” Garcia said.
