I'm going to The Philippines! Just got back from vacation this week to the news that I will be doing my services project in Bacolod in October. It is on the island of Negros and supposedly one of the the most modern, friendly, and green city in the country. The city is also a tech hub which makes sense for us and there is a lot of BPO (business process outsourcing) happening there - mainly call centers. There have been a few teams that have gone to the Philippines already with positive experiences, although we will be the first team in Bacolod.
Of course I'm excited, particularly since this is definitely a place I would not have made it to on my own. While business is conducted in English, I'm sure learning a few phrases in the filipino language Tagalog will go a long way. We'll see how much I can actually pick up in the next 3 months before I leave.
