BPOs: We are ‘very different’ from POGOs

Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP) president Jojo Uligan said that the BPO industry “generates a lot of jobs for Filipinos and are leveraging the talent that we have in the Philippines.” He added that BPOs “are not involved in betting, gambling or betting.”

Uligan also noted that BPOs get accreditation from Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), while POGOs get their licenses from the Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).
