The original validity or the revalidation of Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs) issued to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), which expired during the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) period, is now extended until all the community quarantine measures in the country are lifted.
This was based on the latest advisory released by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) dated August 27.
“Departting OFWs with expired OECs during the period of enhanced, modified, and general community quarantine may proceed to the POEA issuing Office of the POEA or at the Labor Assistance Center (LAC) in the Philippine International Airports,” it said.
The agency also informed all concerned parties that the said requirements stated in the Advisory No. 48, which asked for the revalidation of expired OECs during ECQ, will be presented for evaluation, revalidation, and stamping to be marked as "CLEARED."
