BPOs, POGOs face headwinds

BUSINESS process outsourcing (BPO) firms and Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) might find it difficult to expand thier operations due to lack of economic zones and the coronavirus travel ban, Colliers International Philippines said.

Colliers Senior Research Manager Joey Roi Bondoc, in a briefing on Friday in Makati City, said BPO clients and POGOs were seen to continue driving the office market this year, but warned of the challenges both sectors would face.
