The Sunshine Industry of the Philippines
The call center industry of the Philippines was recognized by the Philippine government as the Sunshine Industry of the Philippines because of its massive expansion in only less than a decade. But what made it shine like the sun is because of its contribution for stemming the growing problems of unemployment.
Brief History
The call center industry of the Philippines wasnt always a provider of call center services such as
Order taking services and other live answering services in the Philippines, but was a plain provider of email response of managing services.
Eventually, a number of call center agencies and companies in the Philippines have started to offer a number of customer relation services for their clients such as customer care, technical support, financial services,
Order taking services, reservation services, travel services, and many more. Soon after, the demand for these services has grown which led to the massive expansion of call center companies and agencies in the Philippines.
Solution to Growing Unemployment
The success of the call center industry of the Philippines attracted many foreign investors to invest businesses in the Philippines, such as by starting their own call center agencies and companies in the Philippines, and using the Philippines human resource to fuel their business. And according to many industry experts, this was the reason why the Philippine government has recognized the call center industry as the Sunshine Industry of the Philippines.
Because of the growth of the call center industry of the Philippines, a number of new agencies and companies have opened all over the Philippines, particularly in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. This led to thousands of job openings around the country.
The best part of this is that the industry was not as demanding as other industries, in which anyone with enough knowledge of using the computer as well as speaking the English language are welcome to apply. The compensations are also competitive, particularly for larger call centers.

Order taking services to business-to-business call center services, the call center industry of the Philippines is still recognized for its continuous contribution to combat the growing problems of unemployment. This is by opening new position for many Filipinos to fill in.
