Northgate Cyberzone, Filinvest City, Muntinlupa City— Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT), in partnership with the City Government of Muntinlupa through its Public Employment Service Office (PESO), successfully hosted the ICT-BPO Job Fair Caravan on June 26, 2026, at Filinvest Axis Piazza in Northgate Cyberzone, Filinvest City. The initiative brought employment opportunities closer to Muntinlupeños by connecting local talent with leading information and communications technology (ICT) and business process outsourcing (BPO) companies operating within the country’s premier southern business district. 

FILRT’s participation underscores its mission of creating sustainable value and enabling communities to thrive through responsible and future-focused developments. More than a one-day engagement, the partnership reflected the company’s EESG (Economic, Environmental, Social, and Governance) framework by supporting workforce growth and expanding access to employment opportunities within the communities where it operates. 

As the Philippines’ first sustainability-focused REIT, FILRT advances the principle that sustainable development extends beyond infrastructure to drive meaningful social and economic impact. This vision is anchored in Northgate Cyberzone, an 18.7-hectare PEZA-registered IT park and a major ICT-BPO hub in Southern Metro Manila. By bringing the Job Fair Caravan directly into this ecosystem, FILRT created practical, everyday connections between local job seekers and employers within their own community. This people-centered approach aligns with Filinvest City’s distinction as the country’s first central business district to receive LEED v4 Gold Certification for Neighborhood Development Plan, recognizing its integration of sustainability, mobility, and community growth.

As part of Muntinlupa City’s goal of creating more accessible employment and livelihood opportunities for its residents, the Job Fair Caravan was conducted under the City Government’s flagship Kabuhayan Program, one of the priority pillars of Mayor Hon. Rozzano Rufino Biazon’s 7K Agenda focused on improving the quality of life for Muntinlupeños. Mayor Biazon emphasized that every employment opportunity created represents a meaningful step toward helping families build better futures and underscored the City’s commitment to bringing opportunities closer to communities. Backed by its growing population and strategic connectivity to southern business districts, Muntinlupa continues to strengthen its position as an emerging talent hub supporting the continued growth of the ICT-BPO sector. 

“At Filinvest REIT, we believe that the success of our partner locators is closely linked to the strength of the communities around us. Northgate Cyberzone has long opened pathways to world-class career opportunities in the South, and this Job Fair Caravan with the Muntinlupa City Government reinforces our shared goal of ensuring that local talent benefits directly from opportunities within their own community,” said Ms. Maricel Brion-Lirio, President and CEO of Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT). 

She added that FILRT’s sustainability agenda has always been centered on both places and people, and that initiatives such as the ICT-BPO Job Fair Caravan demonstrate how sustainable developments can also serve as platforms for inclusive growth. 

Present in the event are key government and industry leaders, underscoring the shared commitment to employment generation and workforce development. Present during the activity were Hon. Rozzano Rufino Biazon, Mayor of Muntinlupa City; Ms. Glenda Z. Aniñon, Head of the Muntinlupa Public Employment Service Office (PESO); Dir. Jeremiah T. Carlos, Director of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE); and Ms. Maricel Brion-Lirio, President and CEO of Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT). 

The Job Fair Caravan resulted in almost 400 qualified applicants across participating ICT-BPO companies, reflecting the strong response to employment opportunities within Northgate Cyberzone. Nearly one in five qualified candidates advanced to the near-hire stage following on-site screening and interviews, while other applicants continued through the recruitment process or were referred to TESDA for skills enhancement and training opportunities. These outcomes highlight the success of the initiative in connecting local talent with prospective employers while contributing to workforce development in Muntinlupa City. 

Through initiatives such as the ICT-BPO Job Fair Caravan, FILRT and the Muntinlupa City Government continue to strengthen public-private collaboration in creating accessible employment opportunities and supporting sustainable community development for future generations.
