Dear Mr. Africa:

Greetings from the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO)!

This refers to your FOI request for updated data on Stock Estimate of Overseas Filipinos. Please be advised that the CFO is momentarily not releasing any updates on the stock estimate pending the approval of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Board of the proposed framework on the counting of overseas Filipinos. 

The framework which aims to develop a more comprehensive data on migration and harmonize different migration sources of relevant government agencies, was developed in 2016 by the Inter-Agency Committee (IAC) on Migration Statistics. The stock estimate is the aggregate of all Filipinos residing or working overseas at a given time. It consists of three categories - permanent, temporary and irregular migrants.

The main sources of the Stock Estimate include the administrative data of different government agencies such as CFO, Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). The latest stock estimate published by the CFO was as of December 2013.

However, the CFO data on registered Filipino emigrants, EVP, and au pairs are updated annually, and may be accessed in the Statistics Section https://cfo.gov.ph/statistics-2/.

For questions or clarifications, you may contact Mr. Frencel Tingga of the Policy, Planning and Research Division directly at ftingga@cfo.gov.ph to walk you through these references from CFO.

Thank you very much.
