Chinese firms urged to locate BPO functions in Philippines

The Board of Investments is urging Chinese companies to put up business process outsourcing facilities in the Philippines, so that they can take advantage of the support that highly skilled English-speaking BPO personnel can provide for their businesses.

Coming from a recent investment promotion trip to China, BoI managing head Cristino Panlilio said Chinese companies would benefit from offshoring some company functions to the Philippines, especially those that China still had to improve.

“China is starting to bone up on its service exports, so we’re giving them tips and strategic recommendations on how to make their service export industry more competitive,” he said.

Certain banking and financial functions, for example, could be done out of the Philippines for China’s overseas clients, he related.

“The Chinese market is big, and it needs strong support from English-speaking countries like the Philippines to serve its clients in the West. What they can do is move some business functions here, then just move these back to China when they’ve already built their capabilities,” Panlilio said.

“Like in banking, for example. China’s banking capabilities are still not on par with the world’s best. The Philippines can help in that area. We can also do animation and just about any service. A lot of companies in China need BPO services,” he added.

Should Chinese firms decide to bring their BPO business into the country, he said as much as a third of local BPO operations could be servicing Chinese companies.

In an earlier interview, Business Processing Association of the Philippines executive director for information and research Gillian Joyce Virata said the local BPO industry was keen on entering new markets.

Not wanting to rely almost solely on the United States for its business, she related that the BPO sector was pushing to enter new markets such as the United Kingdom and Asia-Pacific.

“Because of the growth of the Asia-Pacific region, there’s now also a big demand (for BPO services). We’re trying to capitalize on our language capabilities. The biggest demand is for Mandarin, Japanese, Thai, Bahasa, and Korean,” she said.
