<p>Last December 15, 2011, Typhoon Sendong or the International name Typhoon Washi hit the Philippines specifically the Mindanao area.  The Typhoon Sendong continued to intensify as it moves to its new target Palawan.  It is said that the typhoon Sendong hopefully the last weather disturbance in the country 2011 crossed the Mindanao.  In the latest weather bulletin from the Philippines Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA, it was the last tracked at 180 kilometers West of Dumaguete City with the maximum winds of 75 kilometers per hour,  The typhoon Sendong is moving West NorthWest at 30 kph. It is stated that the signal number 2 is hosted over Palawan, Southern Negros and Zamboanga Del Norte while the signal number 1 is raised over Southern Cebu, Siquijor and Northern Negros, Zamboanga Del Sur, Misamis Occidental and Cuyo Island.</p>
<p>Typhoon Sendong hit a portion of the Philippines that does not see tropical storms and typhoon very often.  The Mindanao is thus hit only about once every twelve years by a significant tropical storms or typhoon.</p>
<p>There is a rumors that the legal logging is the cause of the flash flood in the Philippines.  President Benigno Aquino ordered an investigation into a flash floods and landslides that sent a mud and logs crashing down on the residents killing about  1,000 people on a Southern Island.  The typhoon Sendong left 957 death and 49 missing people on Mindanao according to the National disaster agency.  Most of the casualties were in the cities of  Cagayan de Oro and Illigan and tens of thousands remain homeless.  The disaster agency said that it is more than 338,000 people in 13 provinces were affected by the disaster with nearly 43,000 still in schools, churches and gymnasium more than 10 thousands houses were damaged by the typhoon and the flashflood of which is nearly a third were ruined.  Most of the schools, roads and bridges also badly damaged. There are more than 15 million pesos or $340,000 worth of crops, it is mostly rice and corn were damaged.  Although the Agriculture Department said that losses were minimal as the crops were in the early planting stage.</p>
<p>All the foundations like ABS-CBN Foundation, GMA Foundation etc. help the people who suffer in Mindanao and in places that are affected by typhoon Sendong.  Most of the dead are women and children.  The mass graves are being dug for casualties, survivors continue to ask for the help. It is urgently needed in evacuation centers including the body bags, food, water, medicine, blankets, kerosene, lamps or even money will do.</p>
<p>Some people are saying that the Philippine Government should blame, it is the government&#8217;s fault.  People should know that no one wants this kind of tragedy, calamity or disaster.  The Philippine Government do their best to prevent the country by this kind of calamity.  There is no one who can stop this calamity.  What should people do now is to help other people who are now suffering, because of typhoon Sendong. This kind of calamity that happened in Cagayan de Oro will surely repeated in the future.  Therefore people should always be ready in any kind of calamity that will happen in the Philippines.</p>

<p>For a number of very valid reasons, outsourcing has become a very popular alternative.  By having processes such as manufacturing and assembly done in overseas locations, it is initially emerged as a way for companies to cut costs. The cost were much lower.  Lower wages and operating costs both contributed to these reduced costs.  The lower costs were appealing because they greatly improved the profit margins for the companies.  Outsourcing is now gaining in a popularity for a variety of other reasons.  Cost reduction is still a primary advantage, other elements such as access to industry experts, a larger workforce and more flexible options are being embraced as welcomed advantages offered by outsourcing.</p>
<p>The original purpose of outsourcing is the reducing costs and even though it since to be demonstrated to have other significant advantages, one of the prime advantages is the cost reduction it still remain.  To complete in-house, companies look to outsource tasks which would be more costly.  For instance, a software related task requiring specialized training.  Companies who do not have an staff employee qualified to complete the task that can benefit financially by outsourcing a task.</p>
<p>To retain the services of an industry expert on a contractual basis, there may be significant fees required but the efficiency of this individual will enable him to complete the task much more quickly than it could have been done in-house.  It would have had to complete the task and may have taken significantly longer costing the company more in the long run if the task were not outsources an in-house employee.</p>
<p>In on call, it also provides the potential for new opportunities for the company.  The company is able to go after larger and more specialized types of work with an experts waiting in the wings assist.  This is an important because in doing this, the company can find themselves enjoying greater prosperity.</p>
<p>The larger Workforce is still one of the advantage of outsourcing, this is the benefits of enjoying a larger workforce when necessary without the hassle of maintaining a larger staff.  In additional employees on a contract basis during times of prosperity without worrying about having to lay them off or keep them utilized when the surge of work begins to wane through the outsourcing companies. Having a larger workforce is the ability to generate a larger profit.  Why is it important? This is because smaller companies can find themselves in a position where they can complete with a larger companies for bigger jobs.  This is by outsourcing a portion of the workload.</p>
<p>Flexibility is another considerable advantage to outsourcing work, even though the most well planned projects may suddenly end up behind schedule or under a time crunch due to minor errors, changes in plans or other incidental activities. Those smaller companies who do not have the resources to compensate for the inevitable mishaps.  The companies can take advantage of outsourcing in times of trouble, this is to help them to deal with problems without alienating clients.</p>

<p>Over the last five years, the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has seen its share of political instability. The oakwood Mutiny of July 2003 is the most significant of these.  Most of the social movements manifesting unrest towards government policy, the oakwood Mutiny was originally perceived to have a long-term drastic effects int he economy.  This is proven to be untrue for the local and offshore Information Technology industry in the country.  The reliance of Philippine society prevailed in succeeding years.</p>
<p>The event being relegated to being a mere nuisance, analyst found renewed growth for the remainder of 2003, this is according to the XMG Inc.   The recent pronouncement of state of emergency  which has now been lifted and the ruckus at the Philippine marine headquarters carry &#8220;no fundamental negative effects to economic growth&#8221;, this is the Information Technology research firm believes.</p>
<p>XMG expects some offshore contracts to be suspended or canceled owing &#8221; to insufficient understanding of the real meaning behind events of a social unrest in Philippine society.  The sentiment will get better in less than a year so long as the country does not suffer further political unrest.</p>
<p>The service providers have continued to take on a &#8220;business as usual&#8221;  attitude though they admitted that regular business meetings experienced disruptions due to political protests.  It indicates that the state of emergency has a minimal impact on the country&#8217;s outsourcing market.  The ICT Group listed by Nasdaq-listed, for instance revealed plans to develop its operations while etelecare Global Solutions announced it will recruit over 3,000 new agents in the Philippines.</p>
<p>The current situation in the Philippines heightens the need for companies to have a multiple global sourcing locations and to have multi-country, multi locations disaster recovery plans in place .   The board of investments and the commission on Information and Communication Technology in the Business Process Association of the Philippines  stated that the Philippine Outsourcing industry is expected to create 103,000 new jobs in 2006.  There were  44 percent increase from 2005, this is in spite of the threat coming from other countries like India and China.</p>
<p>The outsourced industries int he Philippines are information technology, call center work, animation and software development.  The outsourcing industry is expected to bring in $3.7 billion in revenues this year.  All of these sectors are bullish about the prospects of growth, the Philippine animation industry is currently a $40 million business.  The global animation outsourcing industry is valued at $72 billion.  In 2005, the BOI also noted a significant increase of information technology-related projects that registered.  In the outsourced call center with a projected 70 percent growth, the biggest growth is expected.</p>
<p>In the Philippines, the booming outsourcing industry is considered vital in keeping the country&#8217;s economy viable.  Because of an ever growing demand from the United States, the local outsourcing industry is seen to remain growing.  The most favored nation for outsourcing ventures, the Philippines remains on its stand.  This is after India because of the Filipinos&#8217; excellent knowledge of the English language as well as their familiarity with western culture owing to the country&#8217;s historical affinity.</p>
<p>Outsourcing is a one way in providing a good strategy in the businesses, this is the one that can provide a solution in anything.  This is a big help in the industry.</p>
