English, flexibility keep Pinoy call center agents ahead of competition!

Proficiency in oral and written English and flexibility in dealing with foreign cultures remain the key advantages of Filipino contact center agents over those of other countries in Asia – including China, the Contact Center Association of the Philippines said Wednesday.

"We see no challenges because… [China has] a big domestic market [and] they should be served," Benedict Hernandez, CCAP president, told reporters during a briefing in Makati City.

"The Philippines has the edge in the English language. Voice wise, the Philippines has the advantages over China," Hernandez noted.

China is among nine countries that taking part in the upcoming International Contact Center Conference and Expo (ICCCE) 2012 – Sept. 18 to 19 – at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

"China is really a big player, said CCAP director Bong Borja. “They're trying to learn English like crazy."

Despite having overtaken India as the No. 1 when it comes to global outsourcing, Hernandez said the Philippines should not be complacent and be contented with its achievements.

"We will never rest on our laurels. We should still maintain our status as the number one in the world – even the future changes," he said.

The industry should continue thinking ahead, like 10 years from now. "We don't want to slide back," Hernandez added.

To be tackled during the eighth ICCCE are trends in geo-politics, technology, workplace, education, outsourcing, and how contact centers can adapt to these developments.


Expected to become a $25-billion industry by 2016, IT-BPO is undertaking a series of visibility initiatives to highlight rewarding career opportunities available to Filipinos.

But the industry needs motivated and highly qualified professionals, Hernandez noted.

This year, business process outsourcing is expected to generate at least 120,000 new jobs for the highly skilled in knowledge process outsourcing The industry aims to employ 1.3 million Filipinos by 2016.

The IT-BPO industry generated $11 billion in revenues and employed more than 640,000 direct employees last year.

The Business Processing Association of the Philippines said the Data Privacy Act signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III last month was an industry milestone that could heighten interest of global investors in BPO. It was an "important first step to ensure competitiveness of the IT-BPO industry."

CCAP is the trade group representing 81 global and local contact centers operating in the Philippines. — VS, GMA News

BPO sector welcomes cybercrime law

The country’s business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, which is gearing up for a 20 percent growth this year, cheered the recent passage of landmark laws designed to protect individuals and industries that rely on data usage.

“We’re supportive of data privacy and cybercrime laws. It’s good to have rules and regulations on risks,” Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) president Benedict Hernandez said Monday on the sidelines of the Philippine Economic Briefing.

President Aquino recently signed the new Data Privacy Act (Republic Act No. 10173) and the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

The former requires public and private enterprises to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of personal information collected in the course of their operations.

The latter, on the other hand, defines cybercrime and provides for the prevention, investigation and imposition of penalties related to such acts.

With greater protection of data assured, the IT-BPO sector is confident that it will grow further in 2012.

Hernandez reported during the briefing that mid- to large-sized companies expect to expand their operations this year.

Of them, about 52 percent expect 15 percent revenue growth, he said.

The Philippines is the top location for contact centers and the sector is expected to growth faster than the forecasted 15 percent.

IT, corporate services, healthcare and other nonvoice services are expected to grow even faster at 41 percent.

Overall, the BPO industry in the Philippines is up for a 20-percent year-on-year growth given diversified offerings and new markets, maintained competitiveness and incentives, Hernandez said.

Improvements on infrastructure, sustained regulatory environment and ease of doing business, efforts to address perceived country risk issues and improved country marketing also help the BPO industry grow despite the strong peso and other challenges, Hernandez said.

He said BPO operations in the Philippines were 20 percent more expensive than in India and recent record highs in the peso-dollar exchange rate was a concern for exporters.

The BPO industry, meanwhile, is also ramping up human resource development through scholarships and partnerships with academic institutions to meet its growing demand for talent.

BPAP is the umbrella association for the IT-BPO and GIC (Global In-House Center) industry in the Philippines.

The services sector, which includes the BPO industry, is a major growth driver for the Philippine economy.
