Cebu City, Philippines
Videography MARX ITTURALDE
CEBU CITY IS A MAJOR center for the, mostly, BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) or call-center industry in the Philippines.
As with most call-centers worldwide, it is a magnet for college or university level students. Curricula has even been developed towards a bachelor's degree program in the various aspects of this industry.
With these and other opportunities also arise the problems. Health and social problems, mostly.
Still, the experience of performance art in Cebu where the infrastructure for art is underdeveloped, is that the call centers and those who work there are fertile, if challenging, venues and audiences, often times counting artists among them.
