Working to its advantae are the country's abundance workforce, low labor costs and wide use of English language.There are roughly 600-700 chip design engineers in the Philippines. Around 6-7 companies are engaged in IC design - Intel, Rohm (Japan), Canon, Lexmark, Sanyo, BitMicro and Tsukiden. The locals like EAZIX (AYALA IMI), Blue Chip (Ateneo) and Symphony are also going there. These chip design engineers were trained mostly in UP Diliman, though La Salle. Ateneo, San Carlos, St Louis, among others - are trying to develop their own chip design programs. Many of the large companies also trained their staff-in-house. The Department of Science and Technology (DoST) Adavanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) is also a source of chip designers.
