According To A Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) Official, The Online Booking System For Filipino Overseas Workers To Apply For Overseas Employment Certificates (OEC) Will Be Reinstated On May 4.
Over The Last Few Days, The Online Booking System Has Been Down, Causing Large Crowds And Lengthy Lines Outside The POLO Office In Dubai Ahead Of The Long Eid Break. It Was Reported That Some People Were Waiting Outside The Office For More Than Ten Hours.
There Were Some People In The Queue From The Northern Emirates Who Had Traveled To Dubai. A Police Patrol Was Present To Maintain Order.
A Recent Official Statement By Polo Dubai Acknowledged That Filipinos Have Been Flocking To Its Office To Complete OEC Requirements Due To Easing Travel Protocols.
There Was An Average Of 700 Overseas Foreign Workers Seeking Contract Verification And Issuance Of OEC Per Day Between March And April.
Beginning May 4, There Will Be 250 Slots Available For Contract Verification And 150 Slots Available For OEC.
