Direct hiring of OFWs temporarily suspended –Bello
Published April 26, 2017 5:30pm
By RIE TAKUMI, GMA News
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III has ordered the temporary suspension of direct hiring of OFWs pending the result of the investigation on the anomalous deployment of directly hired OFWs not covered by the exemption.
"Nag-issue ako ng order suspending the processing ng direct hire while I'm investigating the so many reports and text messages reaching my office regarding some shenanigans in that office," Bello said at a press briefing on Wednesday.
Bello was referring to the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA), some employees of which are said to be facilitating the illegal deployment of directly hired OFWs in exchange for fees.
Administrative Order No. 155 series of 2017, signed on Tuesday, suspends all processing and issuance of Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) for all directly hired OFWs. The order also covers pending applications.
Filipinos who applied, already passed their requirements, and qualified for exemptions before the ban will still be issued OECs for deployment.
Bello said the suspension will likely be repealed after one to two weeks, or once the investigation that will start on May 1 is finished.
"Siguro it will take me one or two weeks to investigate," he said. "After itong May 1 kasi marami kaming inaasikaso. Tututukan ko 'yan. In fact we [will] go there and investigate, and after that we will get our findings and come up with our decision."

According to Bello, the Department of Labor and Employment has a list of POEA employees who will be under investigation.
The temporary ban follows the reshuffling of POEA directors and employees after DOLE discovered 100s of OFWs directly hired by employers were deployed despite strict rules on direct hiring.
Bello admitted that being directly hired by employers under these exemptions is beneficial to prospective OFWs as these options are safer and they will not need to go through recruitment agencies.
"Favorable in the sense na well-protected ka," Bello said. "Yung nagha-hire sa 'yo mga member ng diplomatic corps, yung mga high government officials. Siyempre mahirap silang mang-abuso sa inyo."
However, Usec. Dominador Say claimed in a statement that fixers in the POEA have been extorting around P15,000 to P17,000 to each applicant to process their documents for positions that are not covered by exemptions for direct hires.
Section 123 of POEA rules and regulations states that "No employer shall directly hire an overseas Filipino worker for overseas employment." This rule, however, does not cover highly-skilled workers like doctors and nurses.
Exceptions, as stated by Section 124, include members of the diplomatic corps, international organizations, heads of states and government officials with the rank of at least deputy minister, close relatives, and other employers as may be allowed by the DOLE Secretary.
"This corruption has to stop. We want to be sure that our workers are protected when they leave the country. We should prevent them from being victims of anomalous schemes," Say said. —KBK, GMA News

I think you mga direct hire at may pass na, na nandito na sa SG ay wala namang problema. Kakakuha ko lang ng OEC exemption sa bmonline at wala naman problema
Then yun nga din ang concern ko, balak kasi namin umuwi for a few days, applicable ba to sa mga nandito sa Singapore o sa Pinas lang?
Tuwing kukuha ka ng OEC manually na ccross check nila yan kaya ire-require ka nila mag renew ng OWWA membership, bago ka bigyan ng OEC.

Question lang po, hindi po ba affected dito yung mga maghahanap pa lang ng work sa SG? Say for example ako, aalis na ko this May patungong SG tapos kunwari kung papalarin makahanap ako ng work, di po ba dadaan ako ng POEA at OWWA? Since suspended ang pagbibigay ng OEC, may chance ba na hindi na ako matuloy sa work ko sa SG? Thank you.
Kung andito ka at makahanap ka ng company na tatanggap sayo at iaaply ka ng work pass, wala naman siguro magiging prublema sa pagwork mo dito. Wala naman kasing kinalaman ang OWWA at POEA sa pagkuha ng work pass dito. Between employer at MOM lang yun.
Papasok sa eksena ang OWWA/POEA after mo ng makuha ang work pass mo dito. Your discretion when to process your OWWA membership from POEA. Until makuha mo ang OWWA receipt mo, ikaw ay hindi pa dokumented na OFW. Huwag kang uuwi ng pinas kung hindi ka pa OWWA member dahil hindi ka makakabalik dito.
Papasok lang sa eksena ang OEC kapag uuwi kanang pinas at babalik dito. Dokumentong ipapakita sa IO pag pabalik kana ng Singapore. Sa totoo lang, ito ay walang katuturan dahil meron ka namang work pass card at OWWA membership receipt na mapapakita sa knila to validate na ikaw ay legal na OFW.
"Wala na, guguho na ata mga pangarap ko". - Hindi po. Basta makalampas ka ng IO, tuloy ang pangarap.
Nawa'y makabigay linaw ito sa mga iyong katanungan.
anyway maging prepare kalang kung hindi ka man makahanap ng work dito.
mahirap maghanap? oo sobrang hirap..
