Who is that congressman again? Rep who- PALATINO? im a political science major and i never heard of him before.. Before shelling out any statements about "callcenter" what are the bills that he initiated about youth/creation of jobs? I wonder what made him say that? "call centers are the “culprit” that denies the Filipino youth of their dreams as they are “forced” to enter what they think is the fancy world of call centers"-- IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS KIND OF INDUSTRY, Is he a messiah who could PROVIDE JOBS? What are his alternatives? Is there any other options that he could offer? I rather admire those people of my age who are in a call center industry who worked hard for their family rather than be a politician who could not even formulate a bill that would create a significant impact in the betterment of the country or with the employment for youth to be specific, they could not even establish a quorum to make it possible. We are enjoying our job. im still a normal entity, completely perfect. I can still manage to be updated in the current events not just locally but also international latest happenings. No one is forcing us. it is already a fulfilling feeling that you are earning money because of hardwork and not by corruption..
