Requests required by Philippine Embassies or Philippine Overseas Labor Offices (POLOs) will be acted upon, and the answers will be sent to the requesting Embassy or POLO.
Statistics for public consumption are available at the POEA Library and on the POEA website.
Such requests should be coursed through the Office of the Deputy Administrator for Management Services.
