During this kind of situation, the business sector or the Philippines’ stock market is affected. Foreign investors would think twice of investing business in the country. But will this affect business in the Philippines that is into outsourcing? The answer is “NO.”
We must understand that when a company has outsourced their business, it doesn’t mean that they have transferred the company to another country. Only part of the company’s operation is outsourced. There are also back up servers for data in the company’s headquarter. If the server in their hired outsourcing company in the Philippines crashed, the company’s data can still be retrieved through their main server.
