"We're investing in systems and processes, and next year we will have another 1,000 (workers)," Citigroup's country business manager Mark Jones was quoted as saying. He added that the new jobs to be created in the Philippines would be for Citigroup's call center and financial reporting operations. "There's a whole lot of activity moving in the Philippines as we grow our businesses. Citi is moving more equity in the Philippines.
