The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) advises the public to be wary of recruitment agencies with cancelled or suspended licenses that are still actively recruiting for overseas jobs.
The POEA, as of September 14, 2009, has cancelled the licenses of 454 recruitment agencies since the start of its operations and placed 44 others under preventive suspension. For 2008 and the first eight months of 2009 alone, the POEA cancelled 76 licenses and suspended or fined 57 agencies as a result of recruitment violations.

The first Filipino to ever received it is President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, given during its launching ceremony that was held in the main office of the government agency.
Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and any Filipino who wish to travel abroad need to be familiar with this new kind of travel document because the manually scripted and machine readable passports will no longer be valid in time. Read more.
