The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said that migrant Filipino workers no longer have to pay additional fees when they request their Overseas Employment Certification (OEC) using the new mobile app of the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW).
The PCO said this citing an interview with DMW Undersecretary Hans Cacdac in Quezon City on Saturday, July 22.
The DMW mobile app, launched on Friday, July 21, and is still on its pilot run, streamlines the documentation process for legitimate OFWs, replacing the traditional OEC with the QR code-based OFW pass. Cacdac said the DMW database and the system of the Bureau of Immigration are integrated so that the OFW Pass will serve as official documentation recognized by the immigration authorities during checks at the airport.
“We are still on the pilot run…so it will take a few days and maybe weeks. There will be a proper announcement ng full blast launch niya, paggamit na open na sa lahat ,” he said.
