A new step in CTNP's outsourcing mission
Cebu tele-net Philippines Corporation (CTNP) is proud to announce its official membership with the Cebu IT-BPM Organization (CIB.O), marking a new step in its ongoing mission to support, uplift, and collaborate within the local outsourcing community.
The announcement was warmly welcomed by CTNP's leadership, especially by Anthony "Silver" Cepeda, the company's Chief Sales Officer, who has long believed in the power of industry collaboration.
"This isn't just about being part of a group. Joining CIB.O is a way for us to learn from the best, stay aligned with where the industry is going, and contribute meaningfully to Cebu's BPO growth. I've always admired the leaders and member companies in CIB.O, and I can't wait for the induction — just to finally shake hands with people I've long looked up to."
For Silver, CTNP's CIB.O membership isn't just a badge — it's an invitation to be part of the conversation. From building bridges with fellow BPOs to forming connections with Cebu's academic institutions, the opportunity to "compare notes" and exchange ideas is what truly excites him.
"We're in this to grow with everyone else. The more we collaborate — especially with schools and training institutions — the stronger our future workforce becomes. That benefits us all."
— Anthony "Silver" Cepeda, Chief Sales Officer, CTNP CorpWhat is CIB.O, and why does it matter?
The Cebu IT-BPM Organization (CIB.O) is the region's leading industry association — a consortium of IT-BPM companies, academic institutions, support groups, and government agencies working together to sustain Cebu's outsourcing growth. It represents over 190,000 IT-BPM professionals across the region and has long served as a platform for innovation, policy advocacy, and talent development.
CIB.O's roots go back further than most people realize. What began in 2001 as CEDFIT (Cebu Educational Development Foundation for Information Technology) — a grassroots effort to close the skills gap between local schools and the emerging IT sector — formally transformed into CIB.O in 2017, expanding its mandate from workforce development into full industry advocacy, marketing, and policy representation.
What CTNP brings to the circle
As CTNP steps into CIB.O's network, the company brings with it over 30 years of outsourcing expertise through its global network under the tele-net Group, headquartered in Tokyo. With operations spanning Japan, the U.S., and the Philippines, CTNP is uniquely positioned to bridge global standards with Cebuano talent — something the company hopes to showcase more through CIB.O programs and summits.
Global Standards
A bridge between Tokyo, the U.S., and Cebu
CTNP's multinational footprint allows it to bring international quality benchmarks and client expectations directly into the Cebu IT-BPM conversation — strengthening the region's reputation with global enterprises.
Talent Development
Deeper ties with Cebu's academic institutions
CIB.O's strategic membership model uniquely connects industry with academe. For Silver, this is the part that excites him most — collaborating with schools and training institutions to build the workforce of the future.
Industry Collaboration
A seat at the table with Cebu's BPO leaders
From comparing notes with fellow BPOs to participating in CIB.O summits and inductions, CTNP joins a community that includes some of the most established names in Philippine outsourcing.
"This is a new horizon," Silver added. "Not just for CTNP, but for how we engage with Cebu's industry ecosystem. We're not just here to grow — we're here to grow together."
What this means for CTNP's clients
Industry membership isn't just symbolic — it has practical implications for the businesses CTNP serves. CIB.O's core mission addresses some of the most persistent challenges in outsourcing: recruitment mismatch, talent retention, and workforce quality.
By participating directly in CIB.O's talent development pipeline, policy discussions, and industry summits, CTNP stays closer to emerging best practices, regulatory shifts (including ongoing conversations around PEZA and the Board of Investment), and workforce trends shaping the future of Cebu BPO. For clients, that translates into a partner who isn't operating in isolation — but one plugged directly into where the industry is headed next.
Cebu City is home to over 300 IT-BPM locators and remains the Philippines' second-largest outsourcing hub after Metro Manila. Being part of CIB.O places CTNP firmly within the network shaping that continued growth — alongside major names in the region's outsourcing landscape.
