Business hubs across the globe are no longer solely identified by office buildings and commercial zones, as they are now rising as city centers that also thrive with clusters of leisure and residential developments.

This urban ideal is being mirrored by Ayala Land Inc. (ALI), as evidenced by the regional prominence of two of the most iconic business centers—Makati and Bonifacio Global City. These districts, where ALI aggressively pours its efforts, banner thoughtfully laid-out business, commercial, leisure and residential developments, coupled with open spaces and lush parks.

CEBU: The New Frontier For BPO

Metro Manila has long served as the home of the increasingly vibrant business process outsourcing industry. A report by Colliers International last year said that in 2011 alone, BPO companies occupied about 40 percent of the 5.7 million square meters of office space in the metro. Today, with the intention of expanding the reach and scope of their operations, BPO firms are eyeing areas outside the National Capital Region. Cebu, set in the Visayas, the Philippines' geographical heart, is emerging as one of the most preferred locations.

As the pioneering developer of BPO offices in the country, Megaworld is growing its inventory strategically and in the direction where the market is headed. Its new cyber park in Mactan, Cebu, features the recently completed One World Center, Megaworld's five-level flagship office building offering more than 6,000 square meters of space. The nearly 6,500-square-meter Two World Center, meanwhile, is under way. In the pipeline are Eight Newtown Boulevard, Pacific Garden Tower and Pacific World Tower, which all host BPO offices.

3rd Generation Intel Core Processors Bring Exciting New Experiences and Fun to the PC

Cebu City, Philippines, June 29, 2012 – Intel Philippines marketing manager Randy Kanapi yesterday introduced the quad-core 3rd generation Intel Core processor family, which delivers dramatic visual and performance computing gains for gamers, media enthusiasts and mainstream users alike, during a keynote address at the Intel Ivy Bridge launch in Cebu. Available now in powerful, high-end desktop, laptop and sleek all-in-one (AIO) designs, the new processors are the first chips in the world made using Intel’s 22-nanometer (nm) 3-D tri-Gate transistor technology.

With as much as 20 percent microprocessor performance improvements and new technologies to speed the flow of data to and from the chips, the new processors further extend Intel’s overall performance leadership. All the things people love to do on their PCs — from creating and editing videos and photos, surfing the Web, watching HD movies or playing mainstream games — are now quicker, crisper and more life-like.

MEGAWORLD: The Philippines’ No. 1 Residential Condo Developer and BPO Developer and Landlord

Megaworld Corporation emerged as The Philippines' No.1 residential condominium developer from 2000 to 2011 —over a decade—in a study conducted recently by CB Richard Ellis. According to the firm, Megaworld cornered a 16 percent share of the market, rolling out more than 40,000 residential units with a total aggregate saleable area of about 1.9 million square meters.

The CB Richard Ellis study is supported by a report released earlier by Colliers International citing Megaworld as the No.1 residential developer from 2010 to 2016, based on the number of residential units completed and their saleable area. The figures solidify Megaworld's continued leadership in the tightly contested condominium market.
