Why the Philippines?

Lingaro's global delivery capability spans the centers in Poland and the Philippines. The Philippines has a young and well-educated workforce. About 65 thousand graduates in IT and engineering enter the country’s job market every year. The Filipino people are loyal, reliable and patient. They adapt easily and work hard to grow their companies’ business in the constantly changing world.

The Filipino culture is a fusion of the indigenous civilization mixed with very strong Hispanic, American and Chinese influences. As a result, Europeans or Americans who develop working relationships with the Filipinos get a sense of cultural proximity. Once governed by the USA, the Philippines is now the 3rd biggest English speaking country in the world. English is regularly spoken in everyday life and Filipinos are highly competent at speaking with an American accent which makes communication easy.

The Philippines’ Information Technology and Business Process Outsourcing (IT/BPO) sector has become second in the world after India. The decisions of multinational companies to move Information Technology work to the Philippines are driven by cost pressures, scarcity of talent at home and the need to support business growth. Nowadays, companies like Accenture, IBM and Hewlett-Packard employ thousands of developers in their service centers in the Philippines.
