Yuppie Filipinos get the chance to be employed easily once they obtained their bachelor or diploma degrees because of the emergence of contact centers everywhere in the Philippines. These workers started to fill the 24-hour skyscrapers that gives a colorful background to metro Manila's financial districts at nighttime.
.
This only shows that people employed in this job for a couple of years were used to on their ticking biological sleeping habit. They slept all day long just to regain their strength and wake up again at the wee hours to prepare themselves for a nightlong work. Clad in casual
attire with matching fashionable coats are the most common props if you are a customer service representative. During break time some even used to occupy the al fresco various dining areas in Manila. In Ortigas for instance, call center agents enjoy their 30-minute to 1 hour break at McDonald's, Starbucks, among others. For those who have extra pennies, they enjoy the hot aroma of Brazilian coffee in various blend. Others may sit on the corner and lit up their cigarette in a way of releasing their stress from work. It is enjoying isn't it? .
At 8 pm. about 100 people, most 25 younger, sit in a room of enclosed cubicles outfitted with phones and computers. They'll be working until 4 am. or depends on the schedule of their shifts. As their shifts starts, it is usually morning in the US. These contact centers are following US standard zones such as Pacific, Eastern, Mountain and Central.
.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Luisa Geneta disclosed that call center is her first job when she finished her bachelor's degree on May 4, 2007. At 12 am., Geneta left her house in Tondo, a suburb village in Manila, as her shift starts at 2 am. This Banking and Finance graduate from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) is one of the top caliber representatives for Unique Interaction, an American call center based in Ortigas.
.
“Working in a call center in the Philippines is really a big challenge for me especially that I'm new to this business. I spent most of my time and energy on this job,” she said, who handles an inbound account.
.
It is a very risky to leave my house at midnight for a young lady like me. However, I consider that this is the most rewarding career that we have nowadays and this will be a big help in creating another means of livelihood for us Filipinos especially for fresh graduates like me, she claimed.
.
On the other hand, Margaret Estanislao, 19, a team leader of the same company, disclosed that placing the agents into action challenge her in keeping her job.
.
Estanislao, who started as an agent added that they tried everything in sorting out the problem of the customers. “We need to maintain our empathy if the customer is upset. They are pissed and upset not because of the representatives but to the products itself”.
.
Both Geneta and Estanislao agreed that this job has given them the opportunity to enhance their skills and boost their confidence when it comes of interaction with their clients in a phone-to-phone conversation.
.
“Not to mention the financial aid that it gives to me and my family. I think this industry will continue to prosper in the succeeding years and it will continue to be one of the leading providers of career opportunities for Filipinos,” Geneta further said.
.
It cannot be denied that outsourcing business is one of the most flavored industries in the Philippines and other Asian countries. It appears that contact center executives preferred this country because of the number of students produced every year, which can speak English in American way. As the third largest English-speaking country in Asia no doubt that business process outsourcing is in demand today.
.
BPO companies provides a state-of-the-art equipment in outsourcing their business in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. These companies trained their employees to speak like American way. In Unique Interaction, they provide fundamental call center training before the call center trainees will be allowed to take calls. The trainees has to learn account information first. Once they know the account then they are deployed ready on the floor and receive as many calls as they want. The company also teach their employees on how to handle their customers well. It is so hard to lose a customer, we know that they are considered as the lifeblood that gives full stream of support to make the company up and running and stay on the business for long.
.
The fact is call centers are part of the Philippine economic activity. Almost half of the 86.2 million people in the Philippines are younger than 20 years old. So don't be surprised if you will be able to meet supervisors, team leaders, managers below 25. This is because that call center has the fastest way of promoting a career development. If the agent is performing better and receiving good CSAT ratings then no doubt that within six months or less than, this certain employee is entitled to move to another level in his or her career path. The Philippines is also one of the potential factors for outsourcing. It has been also forecast by the XMG Inc., Manila-based research and advisory firm that the nation will surpass India by 2008 as home to the world's largest call center companies.
.
The Philippines offers attractive environment for the BPO companies, which is one of the key requirements by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) in applying for this business. Even now big contact center firms also expanded their centers not only in Manila but targeting the provincial levels. So it means, the revenues will not only take place within the National Capital Region (NCR) but it will also circulate to the provincial areas after passing the standard set by the Peza. Largest call centers are also found operating in Pampanga, Laguna and Baguio in Luzon; Bacolod, Cebu, Dumaguete and Iloilo in the Visayas; and Cagayan de Oro and Davao in Mindanao.
.
The Philippine Government is very supportive to this. Under the administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, she said that BPO companies will generate billions of pesos in the country with target by 2010. When it starts to operate in 2000, now off-shore call center industry estimates to employs 60,000 people.

Nagulat din ako ng madiscover ko na ilan sa mga sikat na tao ay gumagamit rin ng Twitter katulad nila Oprah, Mariah Carey and US President Obama. Hindi ko rin naisip na ang Tweetter din pala ang tutulong sa akin para makilala ang blog ko at may bumasa ng mga blog posts or entries ko. Dahil din sa social site na ito, natrace ko ang ibang mga kamag-anak ko sa ibang bansa na matagal ko nang hindi nacocontact at nakikita.

inalala ang aking mga magandang alaala dito sa bayan ng Sta. Cruz lalo nung ako ay kabataan pa. Mula sa 6 na oras na byahe galing Maynila, habang binabagtas namin ang daan..ilang kilometro na lang ay malapit na sa aming mumunting bahay. Banaag ko ang malaking pagbabago at pag-unlad ng nasabing lugar. Hindi ko na halos matandaan ang mga palatandaan na malapit na kami sa aming bababaan dahil sa dami ng mga bahay na nakatayo sa paligid. Ang dating puro puno ng saging, at masukal na kagubatan, ngayon napalitan na ng dikit dikit at naguumpugang mga bahay.
p ko, masarap pa rin mamuhay sa probinsya. Sabi nga nila, malayo sa usok, sa polusyon, sa ingay at sa gulo na rin. Bagamat dikit dikit na ang mga bahay dito. Bakas pa rin ang katahimikan ng paligid na animoy lahat ay nahihimbing sa pagtulog kahit katirikan ng araw sa tanghali. Pagbaba pa lang ng sinasakyan naming bus, bumungad na sa amin ang mga tiyahin at mga pinsan ko na minsa’y naging kasama ko sa aking paglaki.Pinagmasdan ko ang lupang minana pa namin sa aming mga lolo at lola. Nakakamiss ng husto ang Lipay. Una ko agad tinanong kung papaano pumunta sa dagat na halos lagi ko nang nakagawiang puntahan kapag nagbabakasyon ako duon. 
Ilang minuto lamang ay narating na namin ang dagat. Kay sarap ng simoy ng hangin, walang katao tao na animo’y iyong iyo ang lugar. Palatandaan sa akin ang malaking bato sa gitna ng dagat na kung tawagin at Bato ni Barang. Sympre, malilimutan ba naming ang lagi na naming kinagawian pag pumupunta ako sa dagat na iyon… yun ay ang manguha ng mga shells at mga bato. Pagsapit ng hapon, napilitan na kaming umuwi baka kasi kami abutin ng dilim sa daan. Sa lugar na iyon, wala pa rin pagbabago. Ganun pa rin ang lubak lubak na daan at masukal na kagubatan. Sa katahimikan ng lugar, di pa rin maiwasan ng magpipinsan na magkatakutan sa kung anuanong engkanto at aswang ang nagpapakita at nagpaparamdam duon. 
g kainan. Samut saring isdang malalaki, mga gulay na at iba pang kakanin na minsan ko lang makain sa Maynila. Natawa na lang ako ng sabihin sa akin ng pinsan ko na sa bayan daw ay may internet na. Siguro nga kahit sino at kahit saan ay may pagbabago na rin at may konting pagunlad. Ang tao kasi ay patuloy na natututo at patuloy pa rin uunlad. Kayat heto ako nagawa ko pa rin maginternet ang magpost ng entry sa blog ko.

Kulang na lang maglulundag sa tuwa kapag natanggap sa trabaho at sabihan ng HR Manager..na “You can start on Monday!”. Tradisyon sa Pilipi
nas na kapag unang sweldo daw binibigay sa parents..Well ginawa ko naman yun pero hati sympre kelangan mong itreat ang sarili mo eh. Unang pindot sa atm…Ang sarap ng feelings at may trabaho ka na at may income ka na..Paglipas ng ilang taon..Matututo ka nang pahalagahan ang kinita mo..nanjan nagsasave ka na sa bangko.Pero marami pa ring pasaway, porket Yuppie hala sige gastos dito gastos dun. Parang di nauubusan ng pera kagagastos.
Kaladasan ang mga young professional ay naguumpukan sa iba’t ibang bars/disco bar tuwing payday or bonus day. Lasingan dito, sayawan, and even dating..yan ang Forte ng isang Jologs na Yuppie. Parang wala nang bukas kung magsaya lalo na at tatapat ang sweldo sa Friday.
o kaya ang shota na kumain sa isang “fine dining restaurant. Dahil may pera..hala sige order lang ng order. Walang kabusugan, Lahat ng Hindi natitikman nuong nagaaral pa..bibilin lahat makain lang. PG..na kung PG..as in patay-gutom..walang pakilalam..marami akong pera eh.
rin mangutang ang ibang Jologs na Yuppie. Malakas ang loob kasi may hinihintay na sweldo every 15th and 30th of the month. Kaya ayan kahit sinong credit card company na nagaalok..kuha lang ng kuha..The more credit cards you have.mas sikat ka at bigtime ka. Pero sana isipin din natin na baka dumating sa point na mabaon tayo sa utang. Kaya konting tipid lang ang payo rito.
no ano. Ang iba naman, nagagawa nang magpunta sa massage center..foot and body massage. Eto ang kadalasang service na inaavail ng mga Yuppies. Ang iba naman nagpaparebond, nagpapafacial, bleaching, wart remove at maraming pang ibang uri ng pampaganda. Basta may pera..hala sige gastos.
hit wala ka nang mapwestuhan sa sea shore ok lang basta makapagbakasyon ka lang. Yung iba pa nga mas pinipili pang mag out-of-the country para mas sosyal ang dating.
pa ring Jologs na Yuppie na mas pinipiling pagandahin at pangalagaan ang kalusugan nila kaya dito na lang nila dinadala ang mga sweldo nila. Yung iba natututo nang magenroll sa mga gym at magpaganda ng katawan. Dumating pa nga sa point na naging uso ang badminton sa buong makati at ortigas. Kaliwat kanan ang mga naitayong badminton gym. Halos lahat ng mga professionals natuto at nakibagay sa sports na to.
Yuppie lang ay marunong pa rin sa buhay. Future agad ang iniisip. At dahil may trabaho na, natututo ng iangat ang status ng buhay, nandyan at nakakabili na ng bahay/lupa at kotse. Kadalasan kasi may mga Benefits or Loan facility na available sa mga company na pinapasukan ng mga Yuppies.
