Offshoring in the Philippines
Author: Karen Michelle Gatdula
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo continues to give scholarship to those who are aspiring to work in BPO companies in the Philippines. Many graduates aspire to work in BPO companies but they lack the basic knowledge to do so because they were enrolled in degrees in which is far related to being a worker on BPOs.
This project of the government helped many unemployed professionals to make a living. Although this became unpopular to some local companies because BPO oftenly gets the best graduates and professionals rather than them. This is because BPO companies give higher compensation and decent benefits compared to what local companies give their minimum-wage-earners.
Home-based projects are now familiar among the Filipino vocabulary. Some of them learned that writing blogs, essays, reviews, medical transcriptions and everything under the sun on the Internet can give them more than that of what they could earn if they work in the office thus giving them ample time to spend with their loved ones and families. Retirees and other unemployed professionals try their luck by applying in call centers and gained themselves a decent-paying-job rather than staying home and doing nothing.
Offshoring also opened a new scheme to IT professionals who oftenly just decided to study IT to get a high paying job abroad. Now, because of the high demand on low cost IT labors from the western countries, graduates need not to apply for a visa to get the job they want, they just have to walk or take a bus ride to the nearest BPO hub in their place and apply in the position that will guarantee them security and better life.
