POEA: Other offices can process documents of OFWs from Yolanda-affected areas


Overseas Filipino workers in typhoon-battered Eastern Visayas may have their documents processed in at least seven other offices of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, POEA head Hans Leo Cacdac said.

In a post on his Twitter account, Cacdac said they can have their documents processed at POEA offices in Legazpi, Cebu, or Metro Manila.

"Eastern Visayas OFWs (especially Balik Manggagawa) have the option of processing their documents at POEA Legazpi, Cebu, or Mandaluyong," he said.

A list Cacdac posted on his Twitter account indicated the Balik Manggagawa processing venues include:

  • POEA Mandaluyong, located at Ortigas corner EDSA.
  • POEA Cebu, located at the ground floor of the DOLE Building at Gen. Maxilom Avenue, Cebu City.
  • POEA Legazpi City, located at the third floor of the ANST Building on Washington Drive, Legazpi City.
  • POEA Naga City, located at the third floor of the Raul Roco Library Building at Naga City Hall Compound.
  • Duty Free Parañaque City
  • SM Manila near Manila City Hall
  • Trinoma Mall Service Avenue in Quezon City

However, Cacdac said OFWs returning and staying in the Philippines for five days or less may be processed by the POEA Labor Assistance Centers at NAIA 1 to 3.

Yolanda tore through Visayas and Southern Luzon last week, flattening cities and town and leaving over 2,000 people dead in its wake. — KBK, GMA News
