August 15, 2018 Dear Raychelle, Greetings from the Commission on Filipinos Overseas! Thank you for your eFOI request regarding the the number of overseas Filipinos As the CFO’s primary clientele are the emigrants who will permanently live in other countries, we are pleased to provide you with statistics of CFO-registered emigrants through this link: https://cfo.gov.ph/downloads/statistics/statistical-profile-of-registered-filipino-emigrants.html. These numbers include annual statistics on Filipinos who underwent the CFO’s mandatory Pre-departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) for emigrants, or Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) for spouses or partners of foreign nationals prior to their departure. On the other hand, temporary migrants or overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are not required to register with the CFO before their departure from the Philippines. They are instead required to register with and obtain their Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs) from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). The link below that contains information about OFWs and other professions by skill and by country might help you: http://poea.gov.ph/ofwstat/ofwstat.html For questions or clarifications, you may contact Mr. Elfred del Rosario of the Policy, Planning and Research Division at 552-4763 or through email at [email protected]. Thank you very much. Respectfully, Elfred del Rosario FOI Receiving Officer
