OFW One-Stop Shop Available Now

This is a great development for our Overseas Filipino Workers. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) launched an OFW one-stop shop which effectively makes it easier for our modern day heroes to avail the services of the government from SSS to Pag-IBIG to Philhealth, etc.

You can find the OFW One-Stop Service Center (OSSCO) at the ground floor of POEA office in EDSA, Mandaluyong City.  They are available Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. On special circumstances the OFW one stop shop office may be available Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays, but this is subject to prior approval by POEA/DOLE.
