Hi! We are students from the UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES conducting a research on "Budget Expenditures on Government Programs Protecting Overseas Filipino Workers".

We would like to know the Statement of Approved Budget, Utilizations, Disbursement and Balances under the Financial Annual Report during 2015-2017. This will be used to analyze the budget allocation in EACH GOVERNMENT PROGRAM MADE BY THE POEA (Ex. Balik Manggagawa program, etc.).

Attached below is the approved request letter by our thesis adviser.
