The call center industry is one of the fastest growing in the country these days. As recently as ten years ago, there were only a few call center agents and the word call center was hardly ever used in the country. Today, almost every family has at least one member working in the call center industry. The reason for this boom is partly economics. In the Philippines, low paying jobs are very notorious and while call centers set up shop here because of the low labor costs, Filipinos decide to work for the call center industry because it pays higher than average wages.

It is that time again when politicians will sing and dance, bash each other, and tell you everything that you want to hear, all in the name of getting your vote.  As part of my civic responsibility, I had been reminding friends and acquaintances to register for the 2023 Barangay and SK Elections. If you have already registered for the 2023 elections, it is now time to know your polling center and precinct number.
