Eastwood City Cyberpark prides itself as the country’s first information technology (IT) park.

It has a reputation of having been buildings for "business process outsourcing (BPO). The eighth building with a floor area of 34,000 square meters will be competed by the end of the year.

That makes Eastwood City Cyberpark, sitting on a 24.6-hectares area in Libis, Quezon City overlooking the Marikina Valley, the biggest concentration of BPOs in the whole country. After all, the firm, owned by office and condominium developer Megaworld Corp., was specifically designed to be the BPO and IT "capital" of the Philippines.

Among the more prominent locators in Eastwood City Cyberpark are IBM, Dell, Siemens and eTelecare.
