I am a direct hire. What you need to do is check first the company hiring you.
For me it was easy because I knew some compatriots who worked for the company in its different branches here in the Gulf Region.

Also please check the process in POEA, I believe they have changed it last year. So the process I went through is not the same anymore where I had to go through each step myself. As far as I know it is not anymore "direct hire" or "named hire" per se as you will need to have your documents processed through an employment agency and not by yourself.
