00:38 confirmed that their plan of a Global Acceleration Center Project in the Philippines

00:42 is expected to provide 5,000 new jobs as a recognition

00:47 of the country's growing role as a primary destination for innovative BPO operations.

00:53 For Yvonne and Sirene, it is important for the country to remain open to projects like this

00:58 because this way, more Filipinos will benefit.

01:02 The opportunities provided by the BPO industry are very wide

01:05 when it comes to the desired jobs, regardless of age, education or status in life.

01:15 It's a big thing for me. I'm proud as a mother that there is no discrimination when it comes to work,

01:22 It's a big help because the salary here is also big, especially in terms of incentives.

01:30 It's a big help, especially for those in the province who are coming to Manila

01:34 to be able to work in BPO. It's a big help.

01:38 It should be noted that the Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA said

01:42 that along with the policies issued by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,

01:45 the unemployment rate dropped from 4.5% to 3.5%,

01:50 or equivalent to 2.15 million unemployed in January 2024,

01:55 which dropped to 1.8 million in February.

01:58 Meanwhile, the PwC's project in the field of consulting spaces,

02:03 cybersecurity, cloud computing, even in the use of artificial intelligence or AI
