Vice Mayor Tommy Osmeña Visits Tahche to Champion Night-Shift Workers and the Future of Cebu’s BPO Industry
On June 13, 2025, Cebu City’s very own Vice Mayor Tommy Osmeña paid a visit to Tahche’s headquarters at 1Nito Tower, engaging directly with the team that powers a significant part of Cebu’s IT-BPM sector. Widely regarded as the “Father of BPO” in Cebu, Vice Mayor Tommy’s presence underscored the city’s ongoing commitment to the growth and sustainability of the BPO workforce.
During the visit, he introduced his bold new initiative, “Mayor of the Night”, a program driven by the powerful vision of “A City That Works When You Do.” The initiative aims to improve the lives of Cebu’s night-shift professionals, largely consisting of BPO and offshore workers, by advocating for safer transportation, streamlined access to government services, upgraded infrastructure, and stronger support systems for single parents. At its core, the program is about making night work more sustainable, dignified, and future-ready.
What made the visit especially impactful was Vice Mayor Tommy’s willingness to listen. He heard directly from Tahche’s management team and employees about their experiences and challenges, particularly around wellness, mobility, and the support systems needed to thrive in night-shift roles.
In an industry built on performance and reliability, his hands-on and transparent approach resonated deeply with the team. The visit also reinforced the vital role of collaboration between the government and private companies in building a resilient, globally competitive BPO sector in Cebu.
Tahche extends its heartfelt thanks to Vice Mayor Tommy for taking the time to engage with the workforce and for his continued commitment to making Cebu a better place for all who power its growth, especially those who work through the night.
We’re honored to be part of the conversation shaping a stronger, more inclusive future for Cebu’s BPO community.
