Cagayan de Oro, Philippines — Aspiring Virtual Assistants in Northern Mindanao, take note! The School of Virtual Assistance (SOVA) is officially launching its face-to-face VA and SEO training programs in Cagayan de Oro (CDO) — bringing world-class freelancing skills and mentorship closer to home.

After empowering hundreds of students in Cebu, SOVA.ph, the Philippines’ pioneering training hub for virtual assistants, is expanding its reach to Mindanao. Starting this year, CDO-based learners can access in-person, hands-on training in professional venues — not traditional classrooms — ensuring focused, interactive, and high-impact learning experiences.

From Cebu to CDO: Expanding Opportunities for Filipino VAs
SOVA was founded in Cebu with a mission to equip Filipinos with the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to succeed in the global virtual workforce. With its growing success in Cebu, the move to CDO is a natural next step in building a nationwide community of skilled VAs.

“We believe talent is everywhere,” says SOVA co-founder Coach Leandro Padilla. “Our expansion to CDO is about making quality training more accessible to Filipinos ready to take control of their careers.”

Two Specialized Face-to-Face Courses Now in CDO
