Filipino Call Centers Appeal against USA Bill

The call centers at Philippines have decided to stage a protest against the anti-offshore BPO legislation. The delegates of the call center association in the Philippines spoke to Senator Kristen Gillibrand, another exponent of the bill other than Senator Charles Schumer. The appeal of the call center services representatives was clear: they want the bill to be revoked or the economy of Philippines would be greatly hit.

A major chunk of money that drives the Filipino economy comes from call center outsourcing. In case the flow of projects stop, the economy will spiral out of control and the unemployment level would shoot up sharply.

The Philippines want the American legislators to bypass this anti-offshore BPO bill. The representatives want the legislators to try out something else, like tax evasions for business firms that do not outsource to a customer call center outside the country.

The Filipino representatives urged the senators to take into account the image of “Big Brother” that America has in the eyes of the developing countries. The bill, if passed, would go directly against this image. However, the decision for the senators will not be easy. It will be difficult to choose to remain a “Big Brother” when the unemployment percentage in the country is sky-rocketing relentlessly.
