Well said - I'm totally with you on this topic. In Davao City, BPOs have found a new haven. With the city fast becoming an IT hub and the Davaoenos warmly receiving the BPOs flocking around town, the city is abuzz with the new definition of “nightlife”.with the rise of Business Process Outsourcing, and the high number of Small and Medium Businesses (SMEs) in the Philippines, we should also start thinking about getting into BPO work, locally. The Filipino workforce has been getting better at the work done by BPO’s and can do a lot of good for the Filipino entrepreneur. Getting more work done at lesser costs would definitely boost the confidence of the Filipino businessman. Becoming more known on the web would not hurt either.
