WrkPod Cebu: Building a Home for Remote Professionals in the Queen City of the South

November 4, 2024 — a date to remember.

That’s when WrkPod Cebu officially started its operations — marking the beginning of a new chapter for WrkPod and for many virtual assistants and professionals (VAPs) in the Visayas.

From Vision to Reality

Every great journey starts with a simple idea. For WrkPod Cebu, that idea was to bring world-class workspaces to more Filipinos — spaces that inspire productivity, collaboration, and growth.

Cebu was the natural next step. Known for its vibrant culture, skilled talent, and growing business scene, the Queen City of the South was the perfect place to expand WrkPod’s mission of creating professional yet welcoming work environments.

The Humble Beginnings

It all started small — a few pods, two pioneering VAPs (Noel Rivera and Iris Gabriel), and a big dream.

On October 28, 2024, WrkPod Cebu was formally opened. Just a week later, on November 4, the first client operations began with Kelly Partners North Beaches.

By December 9, another milestone was reached when Arel Murillo joined, closing out the year with a tight-knit team of five WrkPod Cebu employees.

The momentum didn’t stop there.

By February 3, 2025, WrkPod Cebu opened its doors to clients from other industries — including Eyecare Kids — and welcomed virtual assistants and professionals who had previously been working from home. Then, on May 13, 2025, a Sales Specialist was hired and stationed in Cebu, marking yet another step in WrkPod’s growing presence in the region.

Life Inside WrkPod Cebu

Located in Cebu Business Park, the site sits right at the heart of the city — surrounded by cafés, restaurants, and the energy that Cebu is known for.

Inside, it’s more than just desks and Wi-Fi. It’s a place where professionals connect, grow, and celebrate milestones together. From birthdays and team lunches to small wins and major achievements, WrkPod Cebu is where work feels fulfilling and community feels real.

Stories That Inspire

Lyndon Flores, Site Administrator, shares his experience:

“From day one, I saw how different WrkPod Cebu was — the culture, the people, the energy. Everyone here works hard, but we also look out for each other. It’s fulfilling to see how WrkPod Cebu has become more than an office — it’s a second family.”

And then there’s Iris Gabriel, a bookkeeper for Kelly Partners, whose story reflects WrkPod’s heart for opportunity and growth:

“A year ago, I was at a crossroads in my career. I didn’t have experience in accounting VA work, but I saw WrkPod’s ad saying they welcomed even those without experience. I took the leap — and it changed everything.

WrkPod gave me the opportunity to rebuild my career, grow in my profession, and believe in myself again. I’m beyond grateful for the trust, the growth, and the world-class support.”
