MR. ERWIN MERCADO


Dear Mr. Mercado:

Greetings from the Commission on Filipinos Overseas!

Thank you for your eFOI request regarding data on overseas Filipinos workers (OFWs) per country.
 
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:

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

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

Thank you and best regards.


Respectfully,


Elfred Ulysses del Rosario
FOI Receiving Officer
