Dear Requesting Party,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 23, 2023 05:53:08 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Filipino Emigrants and OFWs per Country.

Response to your request

We were able to determine that the information on emigrants per country of destination is already available on the Statistics Page of our website. You may check it here: https://cfo.gov.ph/statistics-2/. We are also attaching the specific file you need. The latest data that the CFO currently has is from 1981-2021 since data from 2022-2023 is still undergoing validation within the agency's Migrant Integration and Education Division. Data on OFWs can be requested from the POEA (now the Department of Migrant Workers).
