Despite recent closure of call centers, BPO- Business Process Outsourcing and other back office companies in the Philippines, PIA - Philippine Information Agency had a press release that call center industry will continue to generate employment for Filipinos.
In Iloilo almost 3,500 Ilonggo's are employed in call center industry including business process outsourcing.
Please note that call center & business process outsourcing industry are different fields. - We'll discuss this in a different blog. :)
Moving on, just recently a friend informed me that Transcom (previously Nucomm) branched out to Bacolod City. It will start to operate in August this year. 30 employees were initially hired to man Bacolod branch. By the end of the year, 2000 Bacolodnon will occupy Lopue's South Square as call center agents.
With these developments, indeed work becomes closer to home.
I just hope that compensation package would be competitive & market based.
Good luck to all Bacolodnon!
