Call center companies are all over the country since the late 1990s. Now a new range of BPO solutions are slowly gaining ground and the country is now ready to compete with the rest of the world, the first stop is India's outsourcing companies.

I have talked with some people living in the U.S. and they hated the idea that many people in their country have lost their jobs because the companies they worked decided to go to third world countries to get cheap labor. But this is the new way the business is being done, the poor countries are given the opportunity for their country to progress.

Once I went to a new BPO company in Makati, Philippines and found out that they are hiring just about any kind of profession, including the non-IT related jobs such as Architecture and Translation services.

The Philippines' first SEO competition, the Isulong SEOPH is getting so much attention that everybody from SEO companies to freelancers, to amateur individuals try to reach the top 1 on the spot for the Google Search Engine Results Page.

We still have a long way to go compared with India's BPO services, but thanks to contests like these, the world is starting to notice the potential of the Filipino people to be able to provide quality and affordable offshore outsourcing solutions for worldwide clients.
