Dan Mejia, H&M PR responsible for the Philippines. however, said  the company could not yet disclose the exact location of the first Cebu store, and when it will open.

“It’s a great privilege to create job opportunities for Cebuanos,” Mejia said. “We are a value-driven company and we take pride in what we can offer to everyone working at H&M. We are looking for the best talents in Cebu. If you love fashion and you want to make a difference in your life and the lives of others, come join us.”

H&M entered the country in 2014 with its first store opening in SM Mega Fashion Hall in October. It opened five outlets in just two months.
