It depends on how large the account is going to be. There are many call centers in Manila that offer data-entry services, there is Concentrix, Hinduja and IBM just to name a few. You can try to shop around smaller call centers for lower rates. Read More

Just a Friendly Advice by tatang

Just a piece an advice for those who are planning to move or visit to Philippines. Do not use smart communications as your mobile carrier. They are so expensive with very slow signal. This is just base on my own experience.

Meg Jocson

Telco companies in the Philippines in general charge too much for too little. In the US, it is easy to get a 40mbits internet connection speed for a fraction of a price, but here it is a thousand for less than 1mbits --and the signal fluctuates! If ... Read More

Where's the best place in Manila to buy a new laptop? by wanderingsalsero

I get the impression that laptops are higher in the Philippines than in other SEA countries. Am I right on that? I'd almost be tempted to fly to another country, e.g. SK, and buy one there but I know that the airfare would result in the net price ...

Meg Jocson

I highly recommend shopping on line. I was able to get a great deal off Best Buy's website. Then you can send it through Johnny Air. Their shipping rates are very affordable and fast. The laptop was about 1000 USD but I declared it at just a hundred ... Read More
