Manila Office of Outsourcing Things Done
After almost a year of hardwork within the walls of Cyber One Building in Eastwood, Quezon City, the Outsourcing Things Done Philippines office has moved to a bigger and better location in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
The new office is located at the newly built Picadilly Star Building (4th Avenue corner 27th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig) in the heart of the Fort Bonifacio area, the most hip and happening places in the country. The area, more popularly known as "The Fort" is conveniently situated between the business hubs of Makati and Ortigas. It is close to the Manila domestic and international airports and is accessible via many different routes.
"The Fort" is the Philippines' most advanced area in terms of luxury living, shopping, amazing health care facilities, night life, and of course bustling business.
Bonifacio High Street is a very popular destination as it's laid back plaza, lined with amazing shops and services, lets one experience shopping at their own, relaxed pace. It is also a place where one can spend hours just sitting outside a restaurant enjoying their meal and people watching.
Big business players like The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Lawson Software, Inc., Fujitsu Corporation, Ericsson and TetraPak have offices located in The Fort. Some have also moved their national headquarters here.
St. Luke's Medical Center is among the Global City's latest developments. St. Luke's is a 16-storey hospital building with 600 patient beds and an 11-storey medical arts building with 366 doctor's offices. The hospital offers the most advanced medical technology administered by a highly trained staff.
It's an exciting time for Outsourcing Things Done as our new office space will be able to accomodate our rapidly growing team of talented employees and management.
