Where can we get more information about Philippine regulatory rules for BPOs? Is there a site I could refer to?
The Philippine government recognizes BPO as a high-investment area, and has created business parks for IT; provided infrastructure investment, and approved the E-commerce law and the Data Privacy Law and Securities Guidelines. Also, the Commission on Information and Communication Technology (http://www.cict.gov.ph/) was created. The commission is the primary government agency in the Philippines that promotes, develops and regulates information and communication technology. The commission is also responsible for education as well as specialized training; support of regulatory and legal frameworks; and promotion of ICT industry growth. Off shoring as well as outsourcing companies have also grouped together, creating the Business Outsourcing Association of the Philippines (http://www.bpap.org). A BPO gateway, the association has specially made a roadmap that will help determine the industry’s vital opportunities as well as challenges.
