MANILA, Philippines - Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) going back to their jobs abroad are reminded to present their exit clearance or overseas employment certificates (OEC) directly to the airline counters, terminal fee counters and the Bureau of Immigration counters.
Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) Administrator Rosalinda Baldoz said the new policy aims to "streamline the process in the deployment of OFWs."
The new process, according to Baldoz, is expected to benefit thousands of OFWs leaving the country after the short vacation for the Holy Week.
Baldoz also said that beginning Monday, POEA’s Labor Assistance Counters (LACs) will only be assisting OFWs with documentation problems, issuing OECs to OFWs leaving within 24 hours, and dissemination of information and education materials.
"The implementation of the new procedure coincides with the start of the peak season when thousands of OFWs are expected to return to their job sites after attending the graduation of their family members, and observing Holy Week in the country," Baldoz said.
Before, departing OFWs are required to present their exit clearance or OEC to the POEA LAC counter to be allowed to leave the country. - GMANews.TV
