MALOLOS
CITY—Hundreds of jobs are expected to be generated by P60-Million facility that
will house call center was inaugurated here on February 21.
Victoria Bustos, the President of the Dona Rita Realty Corporation (DRRC) said the four storey North Wing 4 (N4) Building will host a call center along with commercial offices for banks and others business establishments.
Located
at the Cabanas garden mall here, the N4 building was first designed as a three
storey facility.
But
it was expanded to four after local businessmen offered to rent its top floor
for call center operations.
“It
will easily generate hundreds of jobs to Bulakenyos,” said Governor Wilhelmino
Alvarado who led the soft launching of the N4.
He
said that increasing investments in the province is one of the signs of rising
confidence of investors to the government.
Alvarado
also hailed the DRRC which is being operated by children Donato and Margarita
Santiago who founded the Bulacan Garden Corporation in the lat 1950s.
Citing
accomplishments of the company, the governor described the DRRC as a catalyst
in local development.
As
a pioneer in local real estate development, Alvarado said that the Santiago
family has greatly contributed to the province’s development.
This
is through the construction of class A and Class B residential subdivisions
here and in the town of Calumpit since the late 80s when members of the
Santiago family decided to diversify their business interest from landscaping
business of the Bulacan Garden Corporation.
The
latest business venture of the DRRC is the Cabanas garden mall, a premier
commercial center in this city which opened five years ago.
For
her part, Fely Rodrigo, the Vice President of the DRRC said that investing in
Bulacan is partly in compliance to their father’s advise.
She
said that their father Donato Santiago reminded them to invest in Bulacan to
provide jobs and spearhead development.
“Our
fathers told us many times that business is now just about earning money but
about helping others,” she said. Dino
