With its scenic vistas and captivating cultural heritage. Loon, Bohol has more to offer than just its booming tourism industry. The Philippine government made a mandate to encourage business process outsourcing companies to turn rural, and this quaint municipality in Bohol has a lot of potential for digital development. But first, let’s peek into Loon, Bohol’s history and background.
An Enthralling Background
Loon is a 2nd class municipality located just a few kilometers north of the capital of Bohol, Tagbilaran City with a population of 43,034 as of 2015. It boasts a rich history as the name of the province was coined after the discovery of its crystal-clear springs and from the Visayan dialect “Lo-on” which means to merge or to co-exist. Furthermore, Loon was the center of devastation during the 2013 Bohol earthquake. Although recovery still has a long way to go, developments are already well underway. Concurrently, the community deems learning and development integral thus several institutions give quality education. More so, livelihood is largely focused on agriculture, fishery, transportation, trading, and tourism. It seems like this is important to note as another prolific industry plans to enter Loon.

Rural Digital Transformation
The business process outsourcing industry is a catalyst for the growing Philippine economy. With the over-crowding in the metro areas, it’s the perfect time for businesses to focus their efforts in rural places. In fact, Loon, Bohol gives the opportunity for these businesses to flourish. With the abundance of public education, they have the capability to provide the students with an understanding of all the industry aspects and equip them with the skills they need for the emergence of the business process outsourcing industry in Loon. Likewise, with the help of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), TeleworkPH sees the possibility for development and is doing exactly that.
For instance, just last quarter, our CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) Jun Baranggan traveled to Loon to share his extensive knowledge in the digital marketing field and starting an outsourcing business. Before long, we’ll be sharing more of our expertise on the industry services they can offer such as data processing, customer support, and back-office support. This marks our initial intent to make the residents digitally literate and soon become digital professionals. Consequently, the community is more than excited about this progress, and preparations for workforce education and infrastructure development are starting to take place. Surely, with TeleworkPH’s expert formula for a rural business process outsourcing solution, the success of this new venture is well within reach.
