Dear Ms. Baybay:

Greetings from the Commission on Filipinos Overseas!

Thank you for your eFOI request regarding data on the number of overseas Filipino workers.
 
The CFO’s primary clientele are the Filipino 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).

We regret that we are unable to provide the information requested since migrant workers or OFWs, and Filipino students abroad are not required to register with the CFO before their departure from the Philippines.

The link below that contains information about OFWs and other professions by skill and by country might help you:

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.

Also, to further improve our services, may we kindly request for your feedback through this link: https://goo.gl/forms/FeSqdqLNMoNkInCo2 (Policy, Planning and Research Division Client Satisfaction Form). The form is brief and will only take a minute to complete.


Thank you and best regards.


Respectfully,


Elfred del Rosario
