How is BPO in the Philippines?

A newspaper article recently wrote about the BPO potentials of the country and the fact that it is not getting enough of the Japanese IT market.

The newspaper interviewed a number of Japanese execs who explained the following:

1. Despite the potential, most Japanese perceive the country as politically unstable and "Scary" in terms of peace and order;
2. Most of the Japanese firms engaged in BPO business in the Philippines are the big firms who's been in the country for a long time; and
3. Successful Japanese businessmen do not want to share their secrets.

A Japanese businessman even said something like "Initially, the Japanese are afraid to come to the Philippines. But when they do, they realize that this place is very good. However, when fellow Japanese ask them how they find the business climate in the country, they say; Ahh, It's very hard!"

Really Funny! ...... BAKERO!!!! -- joke!! :D

Browsing through the internet, several work at home ads can be found. A few require do not require a membership fee in order to gain access to (online jobs) but a big majority does. Some membership fees may be as low as US$5.00 but there are those that can go to as much as US$199.00 or even more.

Through the years, a lot of news articles claim that fraudulent advertisments are all over and that unsuspecting viewers have easily fallen victims of unscrupulous sites.

I created a new site that will publish vacancies that are personally known to the author/s to be in actual existence. The blog will also post advertisements found through the net but all of it will be accompanied with short notes/ reviews. The authors of this site will also browse through, but not limited to Google advertisements and will try conduct verifications and authenticate some ads.

Ads that are personally found to be truly reliable and those that were verified and authenticated by reliable sources, will be accompanied by this site's "Seal of Approval".

Check the site regularly and tell your friends about it.
