Dear Sir/Madam, I am Gil Crisostomo Garcia, 10 years OFW from Doha, Qatar. Mag pi print po sana ako ng OEC Exemption sa POEAOnlineServices portal dahil ako po ay pauwi ng Pilipinas sa May 11, 2023 at pabalik naman ng Qatar sa June 11, 2023. Hindi po ako makaproceed dun sa pag print lang ng OEC exemption kahit pabalik po ako ng same country, same employer at same position. Dahil nga po siguro na ako ay naka tag na "OFW-Adjudication Watchlisted". Need assistance po on how to deal with this problem. Hindi ko naman po first time na mag generate ng OEC exemption, ngayon lang po ito nangyari.

May 11, 2023 Dear Mr. Gil C. Garcia, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated May 09, 2023 07:26:47 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch for access to print out an Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) due to the inclusion of the OFW in the Adjudication Watchlist. Mr. Garcia please be properly informed that if an OFW is included in the Watchlist by the Adjudication Office of POEA, you have to respond and settle the matter immediately, otherwise, you will not get an overseas employment certificate (OEC). Neither, can you get a new/renewed employment contract that is duly authenticated by the Philippine government thru the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW formerly POEA) or the Migrant Welfare Offices (formerly POLO) at the Philippine Embassy in Qatar. You must settle any case that you are involved with or implicated in if you want to avoid any hassle in returning to your employer. Check with the DMW for a schedule of settlement while on your vacation this May 2023.
