An End to Call Centers May Cause Job Loss in the Philippines

[AmorsoloX]

Wala ju'y makapugong sa mga BPO's. What OBAMA is doing is KILLING American businesses, LUGI ang hantongan anang mga kunpanya kung ilang ing-anaon. Pareha rana sa ginasulti nga "INVESTORS GO TO WHERE THEY WILL BE MORE PROFITABLE AND COMPETITIVE" and the Philippines provides them with the right qualities plus the less cost.

it might interest you to knowthat pakistan, india and china are far cheaper than philippines.. its just a matter of time for foreign companies to stop outsourcing in the phils and go to a lot cheaper place..

u may say nga lahi ra og quaility kay nindot lage pinoy... yeay right.. people can always be trained... pinoy, indian og instik parehas ra tao.. ngano di tahay matrain nga parehas ramana tao.. and besides.. mas mamotivated sila gani didtu kay ang ila sweldo mas dako buying power kay sa dire... hahahahaha

[chenggay!!!]

hope lang ta di ni matabo. but wa ko kasabot sa uban dire. most think sayon ra ang work sa callcenter. suwayi ninyo ug work para kasabot mo.

pakistan, india and china might have cheaper labor costs. But... call centers deal with calls. Usually in English. Filipinos can talk unaccented English! I used to have a Pakistani boss in the States. I know he was talking in English but he had this horrendous accent. Very hard to understand.

Either mahitabo ni or later pa siguro mas maayo dili lang jud gastuon tanan sweldo sa mga CC agents if dli man lang necessary. At least if naa savings if ever mawagtangan trabaho you have a small capital to start a small business. Who knows ma-successful?

Well, quality wise........... the Philippines is quite low in cost but the 35 Million qualified and western oriented workforce is what made the Philippines a major player in the BPO specifically call center industry in the world.

Most of those outsourcing in the Philippines are westerners and they don't even understand Mandarin and other Asian languages.

What's the use of low-cost if you don't get the right quality for the specific market you're serving? I think the Philippines will still continue to boom in the BPO industry for more than 20 years or so.

IMPOSSIBLE jud ni mahitabo....... ang pinakaconcrete nga reason y nag outsource ang mga american companies is because of LABOR COST.

If ever mopasar ni nga balaud, dli kaha mo taas ang kilay sa mga dagkung kompanya anis america?... and to think the products they are selling are the one call center agents are supporting to them. Ang mahitabo ani kng mopasar na nga law ug wala na jud lain choice ang mga company, what they will do is to increase the market price of their products they are selling. haaaii.. wala jud ka huna2x ang senador nga nag propose ana. SILA RA POD ANG MADAUT Kay mo mahal ilang products.

[lorenzoleo]

hahaha... imo nang ipanghambog nang IMG? patuli kog usab if madato ka ana. ni kalma man gani tong papa sa akong amigo ana nga marketing director na to kay maglisod nag bayad sa ilang gi kuha nga insurance.

Sayanga gud sa na ni quit siya. Kuwang pa siyag vision.
Winners always find a way to win, losers always find a way to quit.
Winners find solutions to a problem, losers find problems in a solution.

Dependi ra unsa ka kugihan ang tao diri bro. Bisan MD ka unya dili ka kugihan, aw wala jud nay mahitabo gihapon. Mas maayo pa tong kugihan na Field Leader mas dako pa cgurug kita kay sa usa ka MD na walay gibuhat.

sos kung mao nig mahitabo sa uma-abot gi ahak na samotn ing pilipinas kalisod

[dansoi]

naginamaw man na na politiko oi. dugay naman ko kitang anang news. ay kog ingna na wa xa kibaw ngano nagoutsourcing tong mga kompanyaha, grabe nmn sad. mahal baya mudemand nang mga kano, mao btaw gbutang sa lain lugar ang mga center.
it's a fact na naa lain countries besides sa ato na mas barato ang labor cost, pero how about the quality? nakabarato cla sa pangsweldo pero samot ug kalugi tungod sa poor quality of customer service ang gihatag, samot nang sa mga problemadog english which is the primary medium. one of the best baya ang mga pinoy kung english-paka ray sturyaan

[nealotol]
