Dear Darsie Calinog,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Jun 20, 2018 11:00:07 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

We regret, however, that we are unable to provide the information requested since migrant workers or OFWs are not required to register with the CFO before their departure from the Philippines.

The CFO’s primary clientele are the emigrants who will permanently live in other countries. On the other hand, OFWs or temporary migrants, are required to register with and obtain their Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs) from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). The link below that contains information about OFWs and other professions by skill and by country might help you:

Thank you very much.


Respectfully,

Elfred del Rosario
FOI Receiving Officer
