Dear Mr. Salonga,

Greetings from the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO)!
Please be advised that the CFO is momentarily not releasing any updates on the stock estimate of overseas Filipinos 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 IAC was established under RA 10625 or the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013. It is chaired and co-chaired by the UP Population Institute and CFO, respectively.

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 queries, please contact Mr. Frencel Tingga of the Policy, Planning and Research Division of the CFO at tel. no. 552-4766 or email at ftingga@cfo.gov.ph.

Thank you very much.


Sincerely,


Elfred Ulysses del Rosario
FOI Receiving Officer
