One bad effect of having call centres is, since it is a known industry in PH, there are people who take advantage of it, and they end up being a call centre hopper. They don't do good in their jobs, and always think there are loads of call centre company so if he will get fired, it's okay.
Another thing is our "one day millionaire attitude". I admit, I was one of them. I was a call center rep and whenever it's payday, we always eat in expensive restaurants, buy new clothes, shop here shop there, we dont really know how to budget as we always think that we can survive. Buying also in retails (tingi-tingi) doesn't help. My family do groceries every two weeks but my mama doesn't buy big sizes of detergents, shampoo etc. Instead she'll buy a bulk of shampoo in packs (by 6 packs) and thought that it's more expensive than a big bottle of shampoo.
I have to admit it that it's not just about the government but poverty starts within ourselves, No savings, one day millionaires, no contenment, pride and having a "bahala na"/ "come what may" attitude.
