Philippine President Halts Deployment of Troops to Iraq After Abduction of Filipino Worker

lol, the news said they have like 50 troops there

That may be a good thing considering I'm opening an office there and Marc arrives tomorrow evening.

They have enough problems with their own muslim rebels.

:)

There are a lot of Islamic jihadists in the Philipines. Better be careful or a group of them might abduct you, cut your head off while you are begging for your life, and then post it live on the internet for the world to see.

Should that happen, your good friends at GFY will make it a point to ensure that the video is posted free on CJ. We might even get someone to write some insensitive, assinine, smart ass remarks about it as an introduction.

I can only hope you do. In reality, Manilla is very Christian. It isn't nearly as bad as Indonesia.

I hoped you have looked into their current issues with muslim extreemist before opening up shop there..

Hi Rick, i guess your decision was just right...Philippines is not dangerous at all.....call centers are the good business opportunity you can think of that will succeed in this location.

And to $submissions, how is business going these days?

Yes you're right, a great opportunities in terms of business arises in the Philippines, people are very hospitable, kind and lovely! :thumbsup

:thumbsup

The 50 troops the news mentioned are those involved in engineering works alone. There are about 500 military personnel in iraq acting as peacekeepers. The Philippines didn't gave in to the demands of those extremists, the government just stopped sending MORE troops since the 3rd wave of troops are about to be deployed this weekend.The remaining troops in iraq will stay.

AND what's so funny with having just 50 troops? atleast.. the Philippines though small made a stand. :2 cents:

Rick,

Don't know what stage you are in the startup of your call center, but feel free to contact me if I can be of help.

My partners and I have been over here for almost 4 years. Have a great location available for a call center.

Good luck!

the most recent kidnapped victim of the iraqi rebels is a filipino
worker at iraq who reportedly is a candidate of beheading .
philippine president will order the Filipino Troops to back off...in exchange of the mans freedom

jah , its one botemles situation

well, i think each of the country around the world has its own problem re: rebels...just because the Philippines has got that problem it doesn't mean that it's dangerous...The muslim rebels are up to southern part of the philippines.

I love philipina women, fetish lady are you a philipina?

I heard his head will be ripped off in about 20 hours, those iraqui fundamentalist will kill that Philipino anyway, so why back up?

Filipino people are among the most hospitable citizen's you'll ever meet and the Philippines is Asia's Call Center Hub.
Hope you enjoy your stay. Oh yeah, forget about those poeple saying that the Philippines is a war torn country, i guess they have to live here to know the real truth.

she's just being sympathetic to the situation, obviuosly she's a Filipina. same goes to everyone who are against the barbaric act of these terrorist, regardless of race or ethnicity.

What up homie. You should go gamble at the Casino my Uncle run's in Manila Rick. Hit me up on icq for details if interested.

no one's backing out. she just stopped sending troops.
no pullout of personnel either:2 cents:

Cool, another Fil-owned operation! Best of luck, man! Cebu must be nice!

hey DesignWise, why did you ask if i'm Filipino?

even if i'm not, i am still sympathetic to what's happening..:)

Actually, the Philippines foreign minister went out of his way yesterday to say that they are withdrawing as soon as possible to save the hostage.
