New Screening Procedures for Filipinos Traveling Abroad

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has a new program that would ensure that screening procedures of international travelers in all airports and seaports would be done with utmost courtesy. The new program BI-Cares stands for “courtesy, accountability, responsibility, efficiency, and service” and it comes with the guidelines on how immigration officers should properly inspect arriving and departing international travelers.

Under the new procedures, OFWs with no valid overseas employment certificate (OEC) from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) will not be cleared for departure.

The passengers that are suspected to be victims of human trafficking and illegal recruitment will be required to undergo secondary inspection. Passengers will be assessed depending on age, educational attainment and financial capacity.
