President Ferdinand Marcos's state visit to the United States of America has been very productive as he managed to get more US firms to invest in the Philippines. President Marcos welcomed Optum’s medical BPO investment, which is set to employ some 1,500 Filipinos.

According to the report from PCO, American healthcare services provider Optum will invest some P800 million in medical business process outsourcing (BPO) in the Philippines which would generate around 1,500 jobs.

Earlier this year, Optum met with the Board of Investments (BOI) to discuss details of their planned new project in Davao and queries on the importation of equipment.

Since 2011, UHG/Optum has invested PHP 5.1 billion in capital expenditure in operating four sites in Taguig, Muntinlupa, Quezon City, and Cebu City.

Pascual, Finance Secretary Benjamin E. Diokno, Special Assistant to the President Secretary Antonio Ernesto Lagdameo Jr., PH Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel G.
