PGMA Led Honorees for CCAP Conference & Expo 2009

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, led the set of awardees who have contributed the most to the development of the Philippine call center industry during the Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP) Annual Call Center Conference & Expo 2009 held last July 15-16, 2009 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

The other honorees are Senator Mar Roxas, former Senator Ramon Magsaysay Jr., and Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) director-general Lilia de Lima.

President Arroyo was recognized for her Administration’s full support for the call center industry, through the development of the country’s telecommunications network, the creation of the Commission on Information and Communication Technology (CICI) for ICT policy formulation and implementation, the development of human capital to provide the world-class workers we needed for our industry to grow, and the expansion of the Cyber Corridor to span across the entire Philippines. Senators Roxas and Magsaysay were cited for their early support for the call center industry while Secretary de Lima was acknowledged for making it easier for call center operators to invest and locate in the Philippines.

The CCAP Call Center Conference & Expo 2009, organized by CCAP, carried the theme “Navigating Through the Global Crisis”.
