You raise some good points, as you always do. I dated and married a call-center Filipina, my strategy for visiting was to get an Airbnb near her work. For the weeks that I was there, we just lived together. She would commute from my rented place to her work, she would come home after her shift and we would enjoy life like any other couple would where the partners are working. Turned out just great and yes, I helped out and did her laundry while she was gone at work😊. All the other advantages are there, she was in charge of English language support for her office so she was aces on speaking English and a perfect girl to come to the US. Someone who has a call-center job generally has her life fairly well in order. So this isn’t a Filipina who needs “rescuing” as is often the case with provincial girls. A girl working at a BPO may have the very best job of anyone in her family meaning that she’s very important to them in terms of helping them with income. So keep them in mind as you’re planning a future that family will likely still need her support and make sure you’re OK with that. Enjoy your videos so much thanks for sharing so much great info!

Totally agree with the possibility of having limited time together in case you will date a girl working in a call center. I'm working as a head of technical support and because the nature of most call center companies requires working at graveyard shift, it is indeed like we only have a day of rest noting we need to sleep after shift and rest early on a day before reporting to your evening shift - so technically, you're losing almost a day of your 2 rest days. Sad but really true...
Thanks Reekay!

Great topic Reekay! I think It includes all Filipinas with good jobs. A teacher, nurse, receptionist at a nice hotel, even college students. All of them are busy six days a week. I made my second trip to the Philippines earlier this year. I learned after the first trip not to plan a trip around a girl. I did much more traveling on the second trip going from Manila, to Dumaguete, to Iloilo and back to Manila and exploring along the way. I met many new people and made many new friends.

I was very lucky.. i worked night's she worked day's for the govt.. talked daily or night's for me over a year and vacation was 3-4wks and she could take the time off. Happily married 8yrs.

For me, the mastery of English / communication skills of a college-educated call center lady can’t be beat. They are in constant communications training on the phone all day long. It almost feels like dating a western woman, except without most of the unsavory western gyno programming.

That said, I agree you will need to work around her busy work schedule, as with most working Pinays.

[alphafox]

You missed one thing. Call center girls most likely work nights.

[pleaseactright]

After living here for 8 months now, I'm starting to realize that MOST Filipinas who have 'payroll' jobs work 6 days a week and have very little time off. Mall workers, ones who work in condo buildings, office workers etc. It seems the few women who work a job that only work 5 days a week are school teachers and bank employees.

[mikeburns]

A lot of the call center girls work at night. When it's day in the US (and people are calling) then it's night in PH. So she will likely be sleeping during most the day, even her day off. Just so you know.
But the call center girls speak really good English and they're more educated, so they're still a good choice.

[blackwonderBW]

It's unfortunate that so many educated, gorgeous, employed ladies have very little free time. More of a reason not to get your hopes up months before you arrive. Thanks Reekay.

Another possible downside of the call centers is they are primarily staffed by young adults with appropriate libido levels. Friends of mine that work in call centers have told me that there is a huge flirting and hookup culture. So young attractive Filipina dating an old(er) fireigner but surrounded by hordes of young Filipino males with the same cultural background leads to a lot of temptation for her.

[llewxamej]

You are 1000% correct about them leaving things behind to ‘mark their territory’!
Another thing… tons of women that work only have Sunday off… so if you’re trying to juggle a couple of women, be prepared to have an GOOD alibi for why you cannot see lady #2 on Sunday afternoon. Don’t take them to the same mall, restaurants, or movie theaters.
They also love taking pics of the two of you together… and they will be posting those pics! Trying to be a player over here is tough…
Be on your A game!

More great advice from the Filapina Sensei! Guessing that most guys haven't thought it through and are just believing that a Filapina that works at a call center has excellent communication skills, so MUST be a better than average choice for a relationship. Quality time equals quantity in my book, and I would want to spend as much time as possible with a possibly lifetime companion. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!

In my experience call centre girls get Sat and Sun off work. And if they're working in English they typically work for companies providing online support for the UK or North America, so their work hours are often at night and all night, because they work business hours for the time zone they are supporting. Experienced call centre girls often work remotely, from home or from anywhere they have a good internet connection. Their income can range from 15k P to 35k P a month.

Great, informative video! I guess it depends what the man's expectations are. A young, cute, fluent English-speaker with a job sounds like a perfect vacation girlfriend to me. If I get a place near the call-centre, she can 'move in' with me while I'm there, since my place will likely be closer to her work than her place. And likely fancier too – another bonus for her. I understand most call-centre girls work the night shift. That's a bit of a minus, but workable. Like most guys, I enjoy a morning quicky. 😋 Then we can nap together. What would I do all day if she's asleep or works the day shift? The same things I'd do if I was travelling solo – see all the sights in the surrounding area. No interest in hooking up with other girls at all. It's never been my style, and even less so now at my age. 😬 Seems like the best of both worlds to me. A 'full-time' girlfriend that's not with me 24/7.

[Nomak]

You would think this information would be common sense for people. Thanks for the content.

[bonzotalonzo]

Call center girls are good as u say cuz there English is good which is VERY important to me. However, I find it strange though that a guy would just zero in on call center girls only. Many other options out there. BTW- I was able to almost spend 20 minutes once at Magellans Cross. 🤣

[ROE]

Another thing to think about is that call centers work based on the time of day in the country they are taking calls from, it's entirely likely that they will be working through the night as that is the daylight in the USA.

[ramjameson]

Yo bro! You really had Me cryin as I laughed so hard at you pointing out that they are "super detectives".. I knew where you were going BEFORE you brought up the single strand of hair, lol! Only because this happened to Me, and I'll never forget it. Don't forget about the glitter remnants on your face and lips from her glittery lip gloss, lol! I'm cryin!!! ✌🏾🤣
