We Filipino's have the so called PDOS before leaving the country. PDOS by the way is the acronym for - Pre Departure Registration and Orientation Seminar. Basically it's a 5 to 8 hrs semminar and you have to sit listening to the speaker discussing Do's and Dont's awareness of the country where your going. A handbook will be distributed at the end of the seminar containing all the information you need to know about the specific country you are moving.

So flor is right, some maybe are not documented and some were just tripping.

just for your info about Filipino's.
