PDOS - Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar

is a OFW group representative in the Philippines

Sa isang Recruitment Agency, kadalasan nyan ay ganito ang set-up:

1. Recruitment

2. Initial Interview

3. Interview

4. Submission of Documents

5. Processing (Contract Signing, POEA, Visa, PDOS)

6. Departure


Mukhang simply lang pero, medyo magulo yan sa ika-apat na na baitang. Andyan yung Birth Certificate, CENOMAR, Marriage Certificate at NBI ay isa lang sa napakaraming requirements. At kadalasan, mali ang pangalan, o di kaya first name, middle name, pangalan ng tatay at nanay at saka nagkamali ng date of birth. Medyo matatagalan pag nagkaganito ang set-up mo. 


Kailangan mo ding PDOS (Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar) lalong lalo na ni-rerequire ng POEA at OWWA. Parang preparation din ito para sa bagong simula na tinatahak. Kasama nito, meron din tayong obligasyon as an OFW, pati ang background ng ibang bansa, ito ay inilahad na din.


Heto ang listahan:


Requirements for Registration

1. Original and photocopy of passport (must be valid about six months before date of travel)

2. Original and photocopy of visa

3. One (1) 2x2 or passport-size photograph

4. One (1) valid identification card with photograph (eg., SSS ID, GSIS E-card, PRC ID, driver's license, postal ID, ARC, etc.)

5. Photocopy of employment contract (for immigrant workers)

6. Duly completed registration form

7. Payment of P400.00 registration fee

8. Attendance in the PDOS


Mga Schedule para sa PDOS

Ang Proseso sa Registration sa PDOS

1. Pumunta sa designation na Counter para sa submission at verification ng iyong registration

2. Proceed kayo sa Counter 4 kung saan dun i-verify ang registration form

3. Proceed din kayo sa Counter 5 para sa payment

4. Pagkatapos, umatend kayo sa PDOS (Pakihintay lang ang announcement kung saan ang seminar)

5. Paki-hintay din kung kailan ang release.


Kadalasan nyan, agad-agad na ma-rerelease. Pakihanda narin ang OR (Official Receipt) para ma-claim ang passport. Paki-verify narin kung tama ang details na nakasaad.


Medyo marami nga lang ang mga accredited PDOS Provider gaya ng mga nakasaad dito:

News keeps us informed of what is taking place around us. It tells us of political events, extraordinary and the ordinary important events. Even the advertisements have their value. In the world today, reading the news is essential and necessary.

Newspapers give us deeper in sight into the event. With newspapers you can choose to spend a few minutes or a few hours reading repeatedly a piece of news, unlike television.

Reading motivates the drive to know what happens next, to want to turn the page, the need to keep going. So it forces us to learn new words, to think new thoughts. In addition, it also builds empathy.

Reading the news is like gaining insider access to current information about the world we live in today. It records events that happen. It is important and interesting to read about developments and progress that are being made from day to day in the affairs of your country or in the affairs to the world. Thus, reading a newspaper makes us fit to participate in our society. It also helps develop an educated mind, informed judgment, and critical understanding.

It has been said that to read is to fly and it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries. Reading is a particular exercise that not only gives an insight to the world around, but gives us an inner comfort. When we read a particular news, we start identifying ourselves with situations and those around us. By reading, we are actually viewing a reflection of our society. In the fast paced modern world of today, it has become very important to be updated. Newspaper is a great way of keeping ourselves updated. Newspapers remain the most invaluable source of news and information, despite the different forms of the electronic media.

Reading news also inadvertently improves one’s language skills. News items and articles are written to express and communicate, thus precision and meticulous use of words and expressions are used. As a result, a person will absorb these language and style details while going through news items and articles, as well as sharpen communication skills in reading and writing. Consequently, comprehension skills are enhanced. The more one reads, new words and expressions reveal their meaning to the reader’s mind. Unconsciously, our vocabulary is enhanced and the language ability improves, becoming more expressive and fluent.

May we ask for a small favor?

Unlike others, we don't charge users fees for asking questions from our medical, legal and other experts. This is because we want to keep our services free and accessible to all, regardless of social or financial status.

But it's difficult and expensive work. While more underserved Filipinos are using BuhayOFW, none are paying for it. And advertising revenues are minimal. Nevertheless, we have costs like any other top site: servers, power, rent, programs, staff, medical/legal experts, etc. We take no government funds; we run on donations.

So if you value our work in helping less fortunate Filipino friends, then become a Supporter and help make our future more secure. Help us continue our work.

Tanung ko lang po hindi pa pwede libre yung PDOS para sa mga OFW's? Ilang taon po siya valid?Yung PDOS po ba pwede siyang gagamitin sa ibang employer or kailangan siyang palitan ng pangalan ang Employer bago gamitin sa ibang Employer?

Ang PDOS ay actually libre. Hina-handle yan ng Recruitment Agency. Ang lahat ng umaalis para sa ibang bansa ay kailangan na mag-PDOS. One time lang ang PDOS sa isang contract. At sa susunod na pag-alis, kailangan mong mag-PDOS ulit.

Sa PDOS kasi kailangan din nilang mag-update, kaya ginagawa ito. Lalong lalo na sa mga programa, risk, at iba pa.

Ang Php 400 ay isang napakaliit na bagay lamang, kayang kaya ito ng mga Recruitment Agency.

Wala po akong narinig na Agency na nag lebre ng PDOS lahat po ay binabayaran. Tulad nalang po sa Saudi Arabia maraming company na sana walang bayad ang Placement Fee kaso nga lang ang mga Agency sa atin ay na hingi ng bayad. Example nalang po ang Medical kahit walang sira ang ngipin mo sabihin ng dentist na kailangan pastahan o di kaya linisan kasi pag walang inayos sa ngipin mo hindi ma release ang Medical Certificate Mo. Experience po ng Lahat ng OFW yan walang exempted jan. Wala pong Lebre sa Agency and 400 kamo na sabi mo na maliit lang na halaga para sa agency ay pag marami ang nag pa PDOS malaki ang kita nila kasi di naman 400 and hinihingi nila. isipin mo nalang yung Folder na lalagyan mo ng file ay di mo puedeng gamitin yung sayu kasi may folder sila na tag 20 Pisos eh kung tingnan mo naman walang pagka2iba Folder din.
