ALL LICENSED AGENCIES & PDOS ENTITIES

There has been a noticeable increase in the submission of fake and tampered PDOS Certificates of Attendance (CAs) and referral slips COMMA purporting to be authentic documents by certain agencies/entities. These are acts in violation of the POEA Rules and Regulations, as amended specifically Book VI, Rule I, which provides:

b. Engaging in acts of misrepresentation, in relation to recruitment and placement of workers, such as; publication or advertisement of false or deceptive notices of information or submission for processing of documents which are fraudulent or containing false information; Falsifying or altering travel documents. In view thereof, all entities conducting PDOS under the centralized referral scheme shall adopt security measures to enable evaluators/processors to immediately identify and tampered certificates and referral slips.
