The Philippines shares your GMT+8 working day, so a Cebu IT Park team runs on Singapore hours with no overnight gap. Supervised staff on company-managed desktops, not home-based VAs, from SGD 1,820 per person per month all-inclusive.
GMT+8
Exact same working day as Singapore
100% Office-Based
Supervised staff, not home-based VAs
English-Speaking
Fluent written and spoken business English
An office-based Philippines team gives Singapore businesses dedicated back-office staff who work from our managed office in Cebu IT Park, not from home. The team is formally employed, English-speaking and supervised on secure company desktops, so output stays consistent and easy to scale up or down. Sitting on GMT+8, they share the exact same working day as Singapore, so questions are answered and work turns around in real time.
Singapore and the Philippines share GMT+8, so there is no time difference at all. Your Cebu team starts when you start and delivers inside the same working day.
Employer CPF and the Skills Development Levy apply to Singapore staff. A team employed in the Philippines sits outside that, handled under Philippine labour law by Plus Back Office.
Your team works from our managed Cebu IT Park office on company-managed desktops under on-site supervision, not from home on personal devices.
English is a working language across both Singapore and the Philippines, so your team collaborates naturally over email, chat, video and shared documents.

The standout reason for Singapore is timezone: the Philippines shares GMT+8, so a Cebu team works your exact hours with no overnight gap and real-time collaboration. Employment costs also run well below equivalent Singapore hires, and the team is office-based rather than home-based.
There is no time difference. Singapore and the Philippines are both GMT+8, so your offshore team starts when you start, joins meetings live and delivers within the same working day.
Singapore businesses commonly save 50 to 70 percent on total employment costs. A local back-office hire runs SGD 5,000 to SGD 8,000 per month all-in. An office-based team member through Plus Back Office starts from SGD 1,820 per month all-inclusive.
Office-based. Your team works from our managed Cebu IT Park office on company-managed desktops with on-site supervision, on the same GMT+8 clock as Singapore, not from home on personal devices.
No. CPF contributions apply to Singapore employees and permanent residents. Your offshore team is employed in the Philippines by Plus Back Office under Philippine labour law, so there is no CPF obligation for those team members.
Yes. Every team member is a full-time employee of Plus Back Office in the Philippines under a formal contract, working only for your business from our Cebu IT Park office. They are not freelancers or home-based contractors.
