Mabuhay! Welcome to the Philippines, Facebook.

The announcement was made via Neary’s personal Facebook page:
“I’m excited to share that Facebook opened its first office in the Philippines today.

The Philippines is a highly engaged mobile-first nation filled with people who are creative, entrepreneurial and have a strong sense of community.
“Filipinos have been sharing the unique moments that matter on Facebook with their friends and family, be it life milestones or a trending video. 2 in 3 Filipinos are connected a business Page on Facebook, and they’re using the platform to discover new brands and products.
“Our team has already been partnering closely with businesses – small and large – in the Philippines; and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to grow together with our partners there. #FB4PH”
Facebook’s decision to set up an office in the country is a testament to their commitment to the Filipinos. There are no specific details about the key function of the Manila office.
We’re excited to see how their office looks like. We’re guessing that it’ll be all sorts of fun.
