Bpo is massive in Manila. It's right after India and I am sure with the recent Mumbai events it will grow even faster. English is so well spoken here and with the international attitude of the philippinos they can easily communicate across borders.

Another important line of business is artists.., wherever you travel through Asia you will find phillipino bands performing in hotels and bars. It seems to be in their blood. They love karaoke and dancing and you can spot them singing along in the streets.

That these 2 business lines are sometimes close related where obvious at a party from people support (that's a bpo where my gf is working. The party was from a division in response of one of their large clients. People support has a total of 8000 staff and has currently been sold for about 200 milj euro's). There where some nice dance performances, bands playing and singers singing. OMG what a singing talent among this group of people, unbelievable..., if they would be Dutch, they would be a star in holland. Here with all the talent in the country, they are a star at company parties and among friends.

Hi marco, that's a nice thing to say about us filipinos. I am also a singer, and currently singing in hong kong. Thanks for emphasizing our love for music and ability to communicate well in English cheers
