FOREWORD
The <strong>Commission</strong> on Filipinos Overseas is pleased to publish the
eighth edition of Handbook for Filipinos Overseas for our
countrymen who need accurate and current information on the
opportunities, services and programs available to them as they
work and reside overseas.
The Handbook defines, among other things, the rights, obligations
and privileges of Filipino immigrants, expatriates and workers.
It explains specific programs, projects and services expatriates
may invest in or support while living on foreign soil.
This eighth edition of the Handbook was prepared to reflect
updates on these programs and services. The new information
and statistics it provides will help expatriates gain easier access
to these services. It is a useful “how-to” manual for using CFO’s
programs.
We thank the agencies in the public and private sectors that
helped us prepare this revised edition. We shall update it
annually and as needed to apprise the readers about changes,
amendments or revisions to the program and projects.
We recommend this Handbook to our overseas kababayan and
urge them to make it a part of their personal or office library.
