Thats where the money is. You know a steady job.
2 :
It's the easiest job to fill in and a lot of them are available. New graduates want to gain experience and they want it fast.
3 :
I dont know but if ur a little pinoy boy and ur lonely one day and wanna chat... JK! jk! BUT SERIOUSLY i CANT HELP YA WITH UR QUESTION Sorry!!!! =(
4 :
Its a good place to start. low pressure and good pay. if you get started in a call center and do a very good job, when you want to move on to your next job, you will have a good refrence from your call center boss and a college degree
5 :
Carlos, Consider the alternative; work at Jollibee's or McDonalds? Now, when you say most, does that mean nearly half of the new grads or just a small percentage? I will tell you one advantage in working for a call center: It helps you practice your interaction in english. This could actually lead you to a more promising line of work somewhere down the line (e.g. sales, management, consulting & maybe ownership) working with expats like myself. Best of Luck!
6 :
Well, right now they have the most job openings. Also, they have one of the higher starting pays as compared to other industries. And with how unstable our economy is, jobs are really hard to come by. We produce more graduates than jobs each year.
7 :
nurses even in a big city where I'm at is even paid a third of what call center agents are taking home- net so this answers your question,,, it's really about the money first then the experience.. you get to have a glimpse of the american world and get to be familiar with different accents.. including their complaints of your accent ..

on the navy base it would they sell converters send one with it just for safety
2 :
Yes it is. They just need a transformer to step down the voltage to 120 since Philippine have a diff. electrical voltage
3 :
Best thing to do is see if the TV you want to buy has a built in power converter. Some can handle both 110 volts (US power) and 220 volts i think is pretty much all over seas. If it does support both voltage then you will just need to get a Plug Adapter because our wall plugs are different .. If it only supports 110 then you will need to get a power converter that will convert the 220 down to 110. Power converters only cost about 20$ I would go with a converter so in case you ever send her something else electronic she will already have a converter and be good to go :) Good Luck :)

In the past, electronic products "voltages" differs from countries and standards ( US, Europe, Asia, etc..). The newer products now, are usually "auto volts" . This way manufacturers can send their products anywhere in the world without worrying about the countries voltage. You can check your TV's specs at the back of the unit if it says Voltage 100V to 240 Volts , then your good to go. As to the frequency, most units also have multiple region and use. Just the same the Phils also uses US standard TV broadcasting so not a problem there.
5 :
It will work, but too many complications. Better buy one in the Philippines. The electrical requirements are exactly what is needed in the country. And besides, repair will be easier. The guarrantee exists and can be reparied locally, for free within the time limit. If you bring one from the States - it will another story. Buy one in the Philippines! You can avoid the hurdle of transporting and paying additional expenses.
6 :
Most definitely yes!
7 :
It will. Some newer models are dual voltage. Otherwise, a converter, or voltage regulator with a 110 socket included, would work.
8 :
of course it will. but you gotta be careful on the Shipment of the TV. and be sure to buy a TV that can be Plugged on either 110V-220V so your wife won't be needing to plug it on a Power Transformer. good luck!
9 :
You need to allow for 100 percent customs duty on the TV. If an item is shipped by Fed Ex or UPS and insured, then the customs price will be the amount of the insurance amount. Customs duty must be paid before item can be picked up. I was going to ship only 5 pounds of stuff from the USA to the Philippines via Fed Ex. The price was $ 240.00. I decided not to ship it. Have you priced the shipping of the TV? Many packages shipped via regular mail from the USA to the Philippines never arrive. They are correct about the voltage converters. Voltage converters are available in every hardware store, here in the Philippines. Philippines is 220 volts 60 cycle, convert to 110 volts. I would recommend sending cash via Moneygram and have her buy a local TV.
10 :
everyone is correct the voltage is different and you may need a transformer but it would be better to buy one there no shipping costs ,easier to repair and way cheaper , you can get a real nice set there than you were planning to get overseas wth shipping

Will US PS3 work in Philippines
Will US PS3 work in Philippines?
I am thinking to buy a PlayStation 3 and bring it back to the Philippines. Based on my readings the problem when I do this is with the blu-ray. I believe there is a thing that you call region locked? Does PS3 region locked as well? I wanted to buy a PS3 here rather than buy in the Philippines - it is much cheaper to buy here in US. Can you tell me more about the pros and cons when buying a PS3 and bringing it back to the Philippines?

Yup. You can set languages and stuff. :) There is no pros or cons, its like buying a ps3 from japan, there is no difference :D.
2 :
The first good news is that ps3 games are region-free. The potentially bad news is that blu-ray video discs are region-coded, except for the really good news that the Philippines and the US are in the same region, region A. I am not so sure about DVD regions. You may be out of luck with those because there are a lot more of them and I'm pretty sure north America has its own exclusive region. The Philippines is NTSC though, I think. Places where the US military has camped out in the past usually are NTSC. Except in Europe. If you get a backward compatible ps3 in the US, it will only work with ntsc U/C (US and Canada) ps2 games and US region dvd's (region 0 if I remember right) but you'll be fine for the ps3 games, and for blu-ray videos, and for using the ps3 on a standard def Filipino TV.

First you have to decide which "overseas" will provide "what" better future. Find out from the country's embassy or consulate what the entry requirements. Apply if you satisfy the entry requirements. This is a very big step. Once approved, act resolutely and make it work. What "If I had....." never get anyone anywhere! Good Luck.
