Philippines Trade and Industry Secretary Gregory L. Domingo is alarmed by the anti-outsourcing sentiment in the Obama administration even as he vowed to mount a strong lobby in the US Congress against a proposed bill that seeks to ban outsourcing and offshoring activities of American companies of their non-core functions to other countries including the Philippines.

“We are very concerned about it and we will lobby in the US Congress primarily through our embassy led by Ambassador Jose Cuisia Jr. and also through the Filipino communities in the US,” Domingo said.
