With a 95% literacy rate, the Philippine workforce is are experts in medical, legal, financial, IT, and creative fields. This is why both BPO and knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) companies keep on growing in the country because they can supply the demand for various professionals.

Other Philippine-based organizations committed to furthering the sector in the country is the IT & Business Process Association (IBPAP) and Developers Connect Philippines (DevCon). The country has also ICTjob.ph, the Philippines’ premier tech job portal to help out both IT job hunters and recruiters.

    The Philippines is one of the pioneer members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN, an intergovernmental organisation which strives to accelerate economic growth and promote regional peace and stability in the region. As a whole, Southeast Asia has a 640 million population and ranks as the 6th largest economy in the world. ASEAN integration in the Philippines has been beneficial in the past decades, with major improvements in employment, trade, tourism, and security.
