Asia’s first and biggest budget carrier makes its nest in the Philippines, promising more connectivity to the region and less costly airfare.
Air Asia announces the start of a Philippine-based airline in a joint venture deal with local partners, “Air Asia Philippines” by 2011.
“I think the Philippines has been starved for connectivity. There is a massive amount of connectivity that is required in the Philippines.
If you look at Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, the growth [of airline passenger traffic] has really come out of low-cost carriers.”
— Anthony Francis Fernandes, Malaysian entrepreneur and the founder of Tune Air Sdn. Bhd.

These programs are in coordination with the industry players, and critical education agencies such as the Department of Education, the Commission on Higher Education, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
As Cebu is the 8th “emerged destination” for BPO investment in the World besting other developed sites such as Singapore, and some parts of India, the more that Cebu needs to sustain its position.
One way is to improve the human resource capability in the country.

Business Process Outsourcing and Business Support Organizations
December 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Cebu is now the home of large business process outsourcing (BPO) multinationals such as JP Morgan, Wipro, Accenture, NEC Telecoms, NCR, and others, including those big call center firms like Stream Global, TeleTech, Convergys, and the like, so it just proper for the local executives of these companies to group together and form an industry organization.
Some BPO multinationals have already expressed some of their concerns in the local level, like the scarcity of mid-management manpower supply that will need a strong support from the local academe sector, and other support industries.
This problem, among others will be easily solved, if BPO firms will have its own Business Support Organization (BSO) that will work closely with concerned government agencies in the local level, as well as other business groups and multi-sectoral organizations.
