The POEA issued Memorandum Circular no. 1 series of 2021 stating the responsibilities of the OFWs, licensed Philippine recruitment agencies, and their principal or employers on the overseas employment of the worker “which must be in compliance with all the health and safety protocols” of the Philippine government and country of destination.
“As such, licensed Philippine recruitment agencies and their principals must ensure the completeness of the necessary documents and clearances of their workers, such as their verified employment contract, valid medical clearance for COVID-19, and their declaration of understanding the risks of working abroad amid the pandemic,” the POEA said.
