Why Outsource to the Philippines?


Today, the Philippines outsourcing industry is rapidly growing and evolving. Since 2006, the outsourcing industry in this country has grown 46% annually. Last year, Philippine BPO was forecasted to produce $11-$13 billion and to give jobs to an additional 900,000 Filipinos. From $4.5 billion in 2007, the BPO output has increased 33% to $6.5 billion in 2008, placing the Philippines as third in the largest BPO destinations.

The above-said figures clearly show that many companies all over the world find the Philippines as the obvious choice to outsource their work to. To make this information more concrete, consider these underlying factors:

  • Cultural Similarity


Unlike other Asian countries, the culture of the Philippines is very similar to Western cultures. After the Spanish colonization, the Philippines were governed under US rule for 47 years. This is the reason why Filipinos are inherently good in the English language. In fact, English is the primary language in business, law and education in the Philippines.

  • Lower Wages


Salaries in the Philippines are very low compared to other Southeast Asian countries. In May 26, 2011, the minimum wage in the country is about US$9 per day, which only represents a fraction of western countries’. Companies outsourcing to the Philippines can anticipate about 30-40% of the costs of a domestic team. More foreign countries outsource to the Philippines because converting dollars, Euro or Pounds to Philippine Peso is definitely huge in value.

  • High-Quality Education


At the age of four, Filipino children attend public school, beginning from nursery up to kindergarten. When they turn seven, they enter elementary school for six or seven years. After that, they take their secondary education for four years. This is followed by tertiary school, for three to five years.

With this system of education, Filipino students are sure to stand out among other progressive countries in the world.
The Philippines is one of the most competent countries with outsourcing industries. In fact, there are US based companies investing in this country. The edge of this country is that Filipinos can speak English fluently even though it is not their national language. Philippines is also known worldwide for having people who value work, who easily comprehend instructions, can work for long hours at affordable rates, and deliver satisfying results.
