PUBLIC ADVISORY
April 22, 2020

SUSPENSION OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF DOLE-AKAP APPLICATION BY THE PHILIPPINE OVERSEAS LABOR OFFICES (POLOs) for Onsite OFWs

The Department of Labor and Employment wishes to inform our overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) that some of our Philippine Overseas Labor Offices (POLOs) have already suspended the acceptance of DOLE-AKAP applications for on-site OFWs. Said POLOs had exceeded their respective allocations.

The Department has a budget of P1.5 billion for AKAP OFW assistance sourced from the COVID-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP). With said limited budget, only 150,000 OFWs out of the million Filipinos overseas can be accommodated under the assistance program.

We appeal to the public’s understanding as we try to find alternative ways to attend / cater to the needs of our OFWs affected by this pandemic.

Maraming salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa!

Keep safe, everyone! We heal as one.
