Outsourcing industry bracing for risk of rising protectionism
American companies account for about 70% of customers
Outsourcing companies in the Philippines, whose clients are mainly U.S. companies, are worried that Donald Trump’s plan to bring jobs back to America won’t end at just manufacturing but extend into services.
The industry is considering hiring a U.S.-based consultant to monitor the threat of rising American protectionism, Ike Amigo, the head of the Philippine association representing outsourcing companies, said in an interview on Wednesday.
“We are looking at hiring a consultant on the ground pretty soon, as early as March,” he said in his office in Manila. “We keep an eye on developments in the Trump administration. Certainly, it is a concern,” adding the consultant may be a lobbyist or a research group.
Trump is shaking up the global stage as he persuades companies such as Ford Motor Co. to put up factories and investment in the U.S to create jobs. While outsourcing companies have largely escaped his notice, his policies could hurt the industry in the Philippines, among the largest foreign-exchange earners, just as the peso is weakening.

Oh yes, no one has intelligence as far as you're concerned.
I wouldn't be surprised if you'd call my president stupid.
The truth is, who the hell you are? Aw, you're not worth my breath.

How true, like the idiots who make threads trying to infer that Christianity is the same today as it was hundreds of years ago.
Idiots who say they will block posters who don't keep to the topic, and then go off topic themselves.
Or idiots who think they must be telling the truth, when they change their names and location as fast as they change their underwear

Mr trump is simply doing his job as President of the USA and IMHO he's absolutely right to be looking after domestic populations interests first!
Reminds me of something Mr Putin said to a smarmy US Journalist one time " I am NOT your friend, I am President of Russia, my job is to look after the interests of my people, Russian people "
And, in common with Mr Trump the first job Mr Putin had was to drain a swamp also!

He's a pommy actually , don't let that worry you . You must be beside yourself with glee , it's now 5 months 6 days to total victory . Have you got a name for the day yet , like VUS day or IGEAOMFD , maybe RKF day . 
BANZAIIIIIIIII !!------ This thread is Archived ------
Bogart_1960: Aww, it’s so cute when you try to talk about things you don’t understand
How on earth that you'd know I don't understand when you don't know who I am?
Wouldn't it be preposterous that you assume that when I never talked to you about anything to gauge whether I understand anything I write about?
What I gather is that you are a very insulting person that don't know how to show respect to anyone.
Thanks for your insult.

I see where Trumps Obamalite health care plan shafts big time a major group who voted for him, rural folk over 52. They are gonna have a name for that for sure. Chin up old boy. As they say in Russia, draw not your bow until your arrow is fixed.
