THE Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) on Thursday said it could soon deploy the first batch of overseas Filipino workers (OFW) under the new Philippine-Japan Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC).
POEA Administrator Bernard B. Olalia confirmed the agency has completed the implementing rules and regulation (IRR) of the MOC.
“We are now just waiting for the verification guidelines from the POLO [Philippine Overseas Labor Office],” Olalia told the BusinessMirror in an SMS. “As soon as this is completed we can start [with the deployment],” he added.
He said they expect to deploy the first batch of OFWs under the MOC within the year.
In anticipation of the increase of OFWs in Japan, Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III said the new POLO in Osaka, Japan, will become operational by September. This will be in addition to the existing POLO in Tokyo.
DOLE opened in June a new POLO in Berlin, Germany. This November, Bello said the new POLO in Wellington, New Zealand, will open for OFWs there.
The number of OFWs in Japan has started to rebound last year as POEA started deploying OFWs under Japan’s Technical Internship Training Program (TITP).
The POEA, however, warned OFWs against illegal recruiters taking advantage of the reports of new job opportunities in Japan.
It recently flagged a certain Heart English School, a language school in Japan, which has been recruiting OFWs without its authorization.
“The POEA reminds Filipinos seeking jobs in Japan to only transact with licensed recruitment agencies with job orders approved by the administration,” POEA said in a statement.
