THE 266,000 jobs that the government has so far generated this year from its information and communications technology (ICT) efforts may grow to more than one million in 2010, the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) said.
MANILA, Philippines — To keep up with the industry’s rapid growth, some business process outsourcing (BPO) companies flock to less-than-ideal places like shopping malls for lack of enough office space.
The Philippine call center industry is expected to grow threefold in the next four years with annual revenue projected at $7.3 billion in 2010 and capacity at 500,000 seats, venture capitalist Intellectual Property Ventures Group Corp. (IP Ventures) said.
The Philippines isn’t building enough office space to meet demand from call centers and other outsourcing companies, Colliers International Property Consultants Inc. said.

Fos, Research Officer from Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP), explains their strategy to combat tactics used to bust local unions in the export-processing zones (EPZs).
Whilst unquestionably constituting an important source of employment, these EPZs fuelling international trade and the profits of the world’s leading electronics and clothing brands, are characterised by their dismal working conditions. Conditions that are worsening as a result of the race to the bottom in labour standards following the deregulation of the global market.
(a true story) I didn’t want to be a call center agent. I had other plans. I was aiming high.
CALL center workers must have free medical checkups, free transport services, and be allowed to work in a compressed or flexible time arrangement, a senator proposed Tuesday.
By Dean O. De La Paz From BusinessWorld June 30, 2005 It should have been easy enough to tell between white meat and dark meat. Unfortunately, the food server knew only Classic Roast from Fiesta.
