Hi, I would like to request a record of the expanded Global Mapping of Overseas Filipinos for the year 2019. Your website only presents the top 10 but my study will revolve largely around Asian Countries. Your help would do so much for my work. Thank you

MR. DAVID DARYANANI


Dear Mr. Daryanani:


Greetings from the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO)!

This refers to your email request dated 20 January 2020 regarding your request for Stock Estimates of Overseas Filipinos especially for Asian region. Please be advised that the CFO is momentarily not releasing any updates on the stock estimate, where the Global Mapping is based, 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 http://cfo.gov.ph/downloads/statistics.html.

For questions or clarifications, you may contact Ms. Cindy San Pedro of the Administrative and Finance Division directly at 8552-4797 to walk you through these references from CFO.

Thank you very much.


Sincerely,


(Sgd.)
JUSTICE FRANCISCO P. ACOSTA
Secretary and Chairperson
