coelecanth, if that is the case, that they would like all workers to go through POEA, then if it happens that this is true, it's like, they sugarcoated the issue regarding the direct Hiring policy. isn't it that it was a big issue before but due to the unrest of the OFWs, this was temporarily restrained. If this mater with the working visa is true, it's like hitting the aspiring Kabayans and OFWs at the back. i hope that this shall not be the case...
