How about some good news on the Philippines?

The following was written by INTEL GM Robin Martin about the Philippines:

Filipinos (including the press, business people and myself) tend to dwell too much on the negative side, and this affects the perception of foreigners even the ones who have lived here for a while.

Additional tidbits to make our people prouder:

1. INTEL has been in the Philippines for 28 years. The Philippine plant is where Intel's most advanced products are launched including the Pentium IV. By the end of 2002, their Philippine operations are expected to be Intel's biggest assembly and testing operations worldwide.

2. TEXAS INSTRUMENTS has been operating in Baguio for over 20 years.The Baguio plant is the largest producer of DSP chips in the world. DSP chips are the brains behind cellphones. TI's Baguio plant produces the chip that powers 100% of all NOKIA cellphones in the world and
80% of Ericsson cellphones.

3. TOSHIBA laptops are produced in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

4. If you drive a BENZ, BMW, or a VOLVO, there is a good chance that the ABS system in your car was made in the Philippines.

5. TREND-MICRO, makers of one of the top anti virus software PC-Cillin (I may have mispelled this) develops its "cures" for viruses right here in Eastwood Libis, Quezon City. When a virus breaks into any computer system in the world, they try to find a solution within 45 minutes of finding the virus.

6. By the end of this year, it is expected that a majority of the top ten U.S. Call Center firms in the U.S. will have set up operations in the Philippines. This is one area which I believe we are the best in in, the world, in terms of value for money.

7. America Online (AOL) has 1,000 people in Clark, answering 90% of AOL's global e-mail inquiries.

8. PROCTER & GAMBLE has over 400 people right here in Makati (average age 23 years) doing back-up office work to their Asian operations including finance, accounting, Human Resources and payments processing.

9. Among many other things it does for its regional operations network in the Asia-Pacific region here in Manila, CITIBANK also does its global ATM programming locally.

10. This is the first year ever that the Philippines will be exporting cars in quantity, courtesy of FORD Philippines.

11. The government is shedding off graft and corruption, albeit slow but sure. This is the first time in our history that a former president is in jail and facing charges of plunder. Despite all the odds, we are still pursuing the return of the ill-gotten wealth of former President Marcos, now enjoyed by his unrepentant heirs. Next time you travel abroad and meet business associates, do tell them the good news. A big part of our problem is perception, and one of the biggest battles can be won simply by believing and by making others believe.
