The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) welcomed the expansion of Omega Global Technologies, Inc. (Omega GTI) Asia in the Philippines, marking a significant milestone in the country’s semiconductor and electronics industry.
The expansion, facilitated by the DTI’s Philippine Trade and Investment Center in Silicon Valley (PTIC-SV), strengthens the Philippines’ role as a strategic hub for supply chain solutions in the global value chain.
Omega GTI, a Silicon Valley-based fourth-party logistics (4PL) firm, provides comprehensive supply chain solutions for the semiconductor and electronics sector. It operates a state-of-the-art testing lab to verify the authenticity and quality of electronic components.
DTI-Foreign Trade Service Corps Assistant Secretary Alma Argayoso and DTI Region IV-A Regional Director Marissa Argente attended the opening and networking reception, emphasizing the positive economic impact of the expansion.
“Omega GTI’s expansion in the Philippines marks a significant boost to the country’s logistics and supply chain capabilities, reinforcing its role as a strategic hub for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing in the global value chain. This move also paves the way for deeper collaboration between Silicon Valley and the Philippines, driving innovation and investment opportunities,” said Trade Commissioner Kristine Umali of PTIC-SV.
Omega GTI President Zedric Ochoa highlighted the Philippines’ competitive edge, citing its talent pool and strong work ethic.
“Choosing the Philippines for this expansion was a strategic decision. This country is home to incredible talent, a strong work ethic, and a spirit of perseverance that aligns perfectly with our company’s vision,” Ochoa said.
Echoing this, Omega GTI Asia, Inc. Executive Vice President Jayson Alfonso expressed the company’s commitment to attracting more Silicon Valley investments.
“This expansion is just the beginning, and we are committed to strengthening partnerships that will drive innovation, create jobs, and enhance the country’s position in the global electronics and technology industries,” Alfonso said.
The electronics industry is a major driver of Philippine exports, benefitting from investor-friendly policies, infrastructure development, and a skilled workforce.
The government’s commitment to attracting foreign investments is further reinforced by the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Act, which refines implementation guidelines and clarifies VAT zero-rating eligibility.
DTI remains focused on strengthening foreign investor partnerships and leveraging strategic initiatives to enhance the Philippines’ role in the global supply chain.
