Ever wonder why the whole world’s outsourcing to the Philippines now? There’s a reason. Actually... there are seven solid reasons—and one more that might matter a lot more than you think.

Outsourcing used to mean India. Not anymore. In 2010, everything changed—and the Philippines quietly became the global leader in business process outsourcing.

I’ve hired over 50 full-time Filipino workers. I’ve seen firsthand why they outperform, outlast, and flat-out care more than anything I ever got from freelancers or agencies.

So what makes the Philippines the best-kept secret in global hiring—and how did it become the world’s outsourcing giant?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 7 core reasons businesses are shifting their outsourcing to the Philippines—and the bonus reason that might be even more important for your team:

👉 The cost savings when you hire directly—without agency markups

👉 Why English is everywhere in the Philippines—from signs to science class

👉 How their education system produces thinkers, not just task followers

👉 A culture that’s wired to work hard, please the boss, and keep their job

👉 How Western media shaped a workforce that gets your culture

👉 The internet and power upgrades that made remote work reliable

👉 A government that’s actively investing in outsourcing success

👉 A workforce that works great with any boss—male, female, or LGBTQ

You want to scale faster with less stress? Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

🎯 What actually makes Filipino workers different—and why it matters

🎯 How to skip the agency markup and get better talent for $6/hr

🎯 The industries Filipinos dominate—from tech to HR to accounting

▶️ Hit play and find out what makes the Philippines the most powerful outsourcing country in the world.
