yes you need an agency since it is required our stupid law in philippines as OFW. BUT, why are you paying for the placement fee??? you dont have to pay any placement fee... but you only need to process the poea and international accredited medical by the help of agency. thats all, you dont need to pay any placement fee thats a corruption.

You can go POEA and try to find the "Direct Hire" section. POEA is THE recruiting agency.

yes, you need an agency to process your application. if you are in philippines, ask your future employer to send you a POLO Authenticated documents of:visa, employment contract (arabic with english translation), company profile/ID (im not sure what they called it), special power of attorney,  your passport copy, and a letter stating the license agency in philippines who will process your application.you need to pay placement fee required by that agency.hope this helps.
