Davao City (and the Philippines, as a whole) has a competitive edge in the export of consultancy services in the field of (1) information technology, (2) computer software services, (3) consultancy engineering, and (4) contracting services.
Davao City in particular is the service capital of Mindanao due mainly to the fact that it is the island’s center of trade, commerce, education, and tourism.
Davao City boasts of being the site for several international call centers in the island owing to the high acceptability of its human resources to the demands of a call center as well as to the viability of the location itself for BPO (business process outsourcing) operations.
