“Those reports are not true. OFW deployment
through the EPS continues. In fact, 20,799
workers have already been deployed, to date,”
POEA Administrator Jennifer Manalili said.
Manalili said renewal of the memorandum of
understanding covering the EPS which
expires on October 20, 2008 is also under
negotiation.

Manalili said renewal of the memorandum of

“There are no irregularities in the conduct of EPS in the Philippines. In fact,
Korea considers the POEA-Department of Labor and Employment
implementation of the program as best practice among other participating
countries,” she said.
Manalili said at present, the Philippines cannot replenish its labor quota of
11,000 for 2008 due to lack of workers who have already passed the Korean
Language Test (KLT).
A new service commitment agreement between the new test agency and
HRD Korea, which is needed before a new KLT can be conducted in the
Philippines, is still being finalized.
The language training was last held in the country in May 2007.
