Philippine Overseas Employment Administration(POEA)

I would like to request data on OFWs such as the Top sending Regions, Provinces, Towns in the Philippines. and if possible the population distribution of of OFWs among the top sending municipalities/cities within the top 10 provinces that are also within the top 3 sending regions in the country.  These data will help me in  creating my sampling design for my dissertation. Thank you very much for your assistance.
