It probably has more to do with the fact that Filipinos speak english. There's no other countries like that in Asia. I mean, Singapore I guess, but they're busy with their own things.

I think it is more specifically that Filipinos tend to speak English with a more American accent, unlike English-speakers in (say) India.

Well people in India drive on the left side of the road… That’s not going to work out well when controlling a car in the US…

(Their societal norms regarding driving habits also aren’t going to be an asset)

They are only doing top down way point direction, so it wouldn't really matter since they aren't driving the car.

Thailand has good enough English, but is probably too expensive with wages on par with China.

Thailand doesn't have good enough English to make call centers there viable.
