Balik-manggagawa OEC of Samar and Leyte OFWs available at NAIA


The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration today announced that
overseas workers from Samar and Leyte who are returning to their
respective jobsites may get their exit clearance at the Ninoy Aquino
International Airport.

Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said he instructed the POEA Labor
Assistance Centers (LAC) at NAIA Terminal 1, 2, and 3 to issue balikmanggagawa
overseas employment certificates (OEC) to OFWs who can
show proof or documents that they are residents of Leyte or Samar and they
are returning to the same employer.

Meanwhile, Cacdac said POEA has opened a separate counter for OFWs from
Samar and Leyte at its office in Ortigas for those who are not leaving on the
same day that their OECs are processed.

The POEA regional satellite office in Tacloban City has started operating and
reported to have processed four balik-manggagawa yesterday (November
26), its first clients since that fateful November 8th, he added.

Cacdac also reminded other OFWs returning to the country this coming
holiday season to avail of the POEA’s online appointment system for the
processing of their exit clearance or overseas employment certificate.

He said OFWs using the appointment system can have their OECs processed
in their own schedule and would be spared of the expected long lines of
workers at the POEA offices who want to go back to their job sites after
spending Christmas and New Year in the country. The appointment service
is free and is available at bmappointment.poea.gov.ph.

The POEA has counters at its main office in Mandaluyong City, Duty Free
Philippines in Parañaque City, SM Manila and Trinoma in Quezon City, to
accommodate those who choose to get their exit clearance at a specific date
and time.
Regular processing of OECs at the main office starts at 7 o'clock in the
morning until 5 in the afternoon. The processing time at the other sites are
as follows: Duty Free 9am to 5 pm, Trinoma 9am to 6pm, and SM Manila
10am to 6pm.

Cacdac added that OFWs intending to return home within two years may
avail of multiple OECs.

OFWs may also get their exit clearance at the Philippine Overseas Labor
Office (POLO) nearest their jobsite, and the POEA regional offices
nationwide.

The documentary requirements for returning workers are the following: 1)
Passport valid for 6 months from time of departure; 2) Valid working
visa/work permit; 3) Proof of employment such as certificate of employment,
company ID, pay slip, and other equivalent document.

Biden said set to make push for demilitarized Palestinian state as part of new doctrine ---By LAZAR BERMAN

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday. The plan, Friedman wrote, “would involve some form of US recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.” White House officials “have been consulting experts inside and outside the US government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take,” revealed Friedman. What he termed the new “Biden Doctrin
