OFWs Needs to Validate Exit Clearance at NAIA Terminals - POEA
Wednesday, February 9, 2011
Beginning March 1, 2011, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) leaving the country will be required to validate their exit clearance at POEA's Labor Assistance Center in all Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminals.
This validation will be required and implemented by the agency
"...to ensure that only workers who are properly documented or have passed through the legal processes are allowed to leave the country. Also, to check on workers carrying tampered or fake travel documents secured through illegal means."Validation of OFW exit clearance/overseas employment certificates/e-receipts will only take a minute or so through validation machines which will be set up to accommodate thousands of OFW leaving the airports daily. The validation shall only be valid up to the date of the confirmed flight. Revalidation shall be allowed for cancelled or rescheduled flights.
- POEA Adminstrator Carlos Cao, Jr.

Here's hoping that this OEC/Exit Clearance validation can lessen illegal recruitment and human trafficking.
