The Cebu City Council has approved the renewal of contract of service of Mayor Tomas Osmeña’s consultants for business processing outsourcing (BPO) sector. City councilors recently gave their approval to the measure, renewing the services of three consultants including Nanette Garong. The contract covers the period of July 1 to Dec. 31, 2018. Garong as a BPO consultant receives a monthly remuneration of P18,000 and among her tasks are bridging the city government and the BPO industry, and addressing BPO-related concerns.
