Title

Yelloh girls by Kiana Garcia

Description

, 1980 in Manila. Like most Filipinos, I lived with my parents much longer than people do in the States. Here it’s not uncommon for 3-4 generations to be living together under the same roof. I’m told that in Mexico it’s common to see the same family tightness. Obviously it was not my first choice to live with them until I was 24, but here in the Philippines budgets are rather small for living on your own. Of course you can find housing for $50 per month for a shared dorm style room all the way up to $400 for a very nice 1 bedroom apartment in the Central Business District of Makati. To most people reading this that sounds very reasonable if not totally cheap altogether. I understand that the same 1 bedroom apartment in the CBD of cities like New York and San Francisco can cost $2000 and up. The big problem here is jobs as you might imagine. The Philippines is well known for its abundance of English speakers. But there is so much talent in this poor country that it is easy for an employer to quickly hire a staff and have hundreds on the waiting list within a matter of days. So it may be easier to accept that my $250 per month salary when I worked as a trainer in a call center is basically standard. At the highest levels of management in my company, the salaries are still relatively low compared to the rest of the world at $900 per month. But these call centers typically employ some of the brightest young talent our schools can produce. For those of you reading this who call those 1-800 numbers, you are probably speaking to a Filipino sitting in a call center in the middle of the night (our time) that is assigned to assist your call. The reason you probably were not aware of this is because we are so well trained to adopt a “neutral” accent and most people think that they are talking to someone in their own country.

So that’s what I did for about 10 hours per day and at roughly $1 per hour. I trained my countrymen and women to be able to talk to you when you call customer care centers and for you not to detect that fact. After all, it’s well known that people would rather speak to someone who intimately knows, on a first hand basis, the product or service for which you have questions. You probably would feel uneasy if you knew that I have never been to your city for which you are asking directions and I’m reading off of a map while talking to you.

So for those of you who might moan and groan should you find me advertising a few things on my website to make extra income, at least take a moment to consider the fact that I don’t make $60,000 per year and up like most of you Internet people from Western countries who are reading this. $250 per month took me as far as you can imagine it did. Bandwidth, domain names, servers, and PC usage is not free you know. Most people here do not have their own PC and must use internet cafes if they are to take part in modern communication with the outside world.
