MR. MASSIMO OLENI


Dear Mr. Oleni:

Greetings from the Commission on Filipinos Overseas!

This refers to your information request for the number of overseas Filipinos in European countries.

As the CFO’s primary clientele are the emigrants who will permanently live in other countries, we are pleased to share with you in the attached document the number of Filipinos registered by the CFO in Europe. These numbers include annual statistics on permanent Filipino migrants who underwent the CFO’s mandatory Pre-departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) for immigrants, Peer Counseling Program for minors, or Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) for spouses or partners of foreign nationals prior to their departure.

For a compilation of other CFO-registered emigrant statistics such as demographic profiles, you may also check and download the CFO Statistics on Philippine International Migration from this link:
http://www.cfo.gov.ph/images/pdf/2017/2015compendiumstats-insidepages-2017-06-29.pdf or visit the website’s statistics page at http://cfo.gov.ph/downloads/statistics.html.

On the other hand, temporary migrants or overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are not required to register with the CFO before their departure from the Philippines. They are instead 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:

http://poea.gov.ph/ofwstat/ofwstat.html

The POEA’s Planning Branch, which is in charge of updating POEA’s annual deployment statistics, has the proper authority to provide you with the information that you need regarding OFWs.

For questions or clarifications, you may contact Mr. Elfred del Rosario of the Policy, Planning and Research Division at (02) 552-4763 or through email at dr.elfred@gmail.com.

Thank you very much.


Sincerely,



UNDERSECRETARY ASTRAVEL PIMENTEL-NAIK
Executive Director
