Strong currency hurts Philippine call centres

[makie]

The peso strengthening does more good than harm. Unfortunately for BPOs, usa sila sa maigo gyud. Same can be said about OFWs. My suggestion is adapt to change. Leave that decision making and earnings problem to the company. Equip yourself with the skills necessary for a career change.

Revenue = Cost + Profit
Pila man ang profit sa mga BPOs diri? I think they have more than enough to go around to keep things going and still keep a reasonable profit into thier pockets, though the figures may not be as significant as before.

unsay example ani sir? kay sa akong nabantayan, mga importers gamay ra ayo nang lihok sa presyo nila maski pila ang tagak sa dollar... maylang gani ko e-adjust man gani. suma gud tan-awa ang presyo sa gasolina, gamay ayo na paubos pero mosaka gani, tibo-ok pud. ni-ubos ba plite sa masa? murag wala man siguro dili bah?

pero pasalamat gihapon ta kay 42 nalang diesel karon kaysa 50+ sauna. pero mao ra gihapon, mas daghan ma-apiktohan nga kada-ot ani kay $10 billion dollar industry na ang call center wala pay labot sa mga OFWs nga mga ingon ana gihapon guro kadako.

I once worked in another family owned business company before that bro. My salary back then was just 6K though I already gained 5 years experience from other company as a developer. That's why after my second experience I swear to myself never to work with those type of companies again. Compare that with my previous MNC company, they are offering a fresh and inexperienced graduate a starting salary of 16K.

dakong sakto
naka trabaho pud ko ug pila ka family owned business
naka apply2x pud ko ug family owned business
lahi ra jud ang sweldo ug benefits nga ila ma hatag compare sa mga MNC

Mao na ni ako giignon bad effects sa atong strong currency. Kung padayon ta ani can we afford to lose those companies who provided millions of pinoys jobs? Kinsa man unya makahatag ug work nila, ang mga importers nga mao ray naka benefit aning strong peso?

daghan pud baya mga businesses ngan naka benefit sa callcenter industry
Food and beverages = sa pantry, coffee shops, fastfood
maintenance personnel = from cleaners to engineers
security personnel
tourism industry = sa mga team building activities
mga house ug room for rent

When we take into consideration that the Philippine economy is in large part easily affected by OR practically buoyed by BPO/outsourcing, I don't see how a stronger Peso would entail a stronger economy--without hurting these earners first. It's pretty much a pipe-dream if you ask me. It's a dilemma. Does this "stronger peso" mean the Philippines will become a more import-based economy?

stronger Phil peso = mao ra gihapon ang prisyo sa basic commodities

sus kung moabot ang adlaw mag closed na mga BPO sa atoa, unsa nalang tawon kaha ang pinas. BPO's nowadays are the biggest employers don't they know that? Accenture pa lang daan have 25K employees country wide.
