Hi, I would like to request copies of the BLAs, MOUs, addendums and protocols that the Philippines has signed over the last ten years regarding the protection of OFWs in labor migration. The POEA has two websites with links (http://www.poea.gov.ph/laborinfo/agreement.html and http://www.poea.gov.ph/laborinfo/bLB.html), but all of the links are down. Additionally, they don't include the recent agreements the Philippines has negotiated and signed in the last two years. Can you please fix the links or send copies of the agreements? Thank you, KC
