Turns out the credit crisis and the recession in the United States had some unwittingly beneficial effect in the BPO and call center industry in the Philippines. A friend, who works in one of the top call centers in the Philippines, revealed they've been doing rapid expansion and is opening up at least 5 more locations around the country from this year to next year. If that's any indication, I'd say the BPO industry in the Philippines is still growing despite the recession. These job cuts are cost-cutting measures -- no new hires in the US; all replacements are made in somewhere else where it's cheaper (including) the Philippines. It makes sense actually -- for every seat you drop in the US, you can get as much as 4 to 5 new seats in the Philippines at the same cost. While the Philippines may not be immune to the same economic crisis, it has proven still that our labor force is cost-effective. Infinix has launched the Infinix HOT 70 in the Philippines. HUAWEI has officially launched the nova 15 Max in the Philippines, featuring a large 8,500mAh battery, a 50MP RYYB main camera, and a 6.84-inch OLED display.
