Earthquake halts Cebu call center operations

Call center hubs in Cebu City temporarily stopped operations on Tuesday “to ensure safety of employees,” after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Bohol.

“Several buildings have been safely evacuated immediately after the earthquake and are undergoing structural assessments for safety by the building owners and their engineers. Reentry into the buildings will only commence once the buildings have been cleared that they are safe,” said Benedict Hernandez, president of the Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP).
