The Philippines is also considered a location of choice due to its less expensive operational and labor costs, and a constant stream of college-educated graduates entering the already mostly young workforce. The Filipino people also generally show proficiency in American-style English as well as slang, and a strong familiarity with U.S. and European cultures. Today, the Philippines remains a top business process outsourcing (BPO) destination for the estimated $150-billion BPO industry. More than a million Filipinos are employed by call centers.
