Cebu IT-BPM Organization (CIB.O) brings the industry back to the court post-pandemic.


The anticipation is spiking as the inaugural season of the CIB.O Volleyball League gears up for its opening, set to spike off on Saturday, February 24, at the prestigious Cebu Port Authority Sports Facilities. With a commitment to setting up solid blocks of community engagement through sports and a powerful drive for healthy competition, the league is primed to smash its way into the spotlight, serving up a thrilling spectacle that's bound to leave a lasting impression on Cebu's IT-BPM Industry and the local sports scene.

In the Opening Press Conference and Media Briefing held last February 21, 2022, at the Piyesta Hall of Teleperformance Cebu IT Park, CIB.O Vice President and Sports Committee Chair Darwin John "DJ" Moises emphasized the tournament's significance. "We organized the first ever CIB.O Volleyball League 2024: All-IT BPM Conference because we believe engaging in sports can strengthen bonds, improve communication, and promote a healthy work-life balance. This activity aims to enhance team dynamics within the IT-BPM sector, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, communication, relationships, and physical well-being in achieving organizational goals.

Moises also expressed that the Volleyball Tournament serves as a prelude to a series of engagements and events spread throughout the year, with the CIB.O annual event Transformation Summit 2024 on the 2nd quarter, a Basketball Tournament on the 3rd, and to showcase the ability of the non-athletic folks in the industry, a talent competition on the 4th quarter of 2024. "With Cebu having some 300 companies employing around 250,000 people," Moises explained, "CIB.O intends to have more diverse activities, once again, to balance work and well-being."

Moreover, CIB.O Executive Director Buddy Villasis shared that "The CIB.O VolleyballLeague is CIB.O's commitment to the IT-BPM industry of providing more value-added services to its members, apart from the ongoing projects and initiatives relating to Talent Development, Innovation, Investment Promotions among others.

Everyone is welcome to join the organization- to make an impact in shaping the IT-BPM industry together."
