Further to the Embassy Advisories on the DOLE AKAP, and as part of its continuing services to OFWs who are displaced due to the prevailing pandemic situation, the Embassy wishes to announce that the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) is resuming acceptance of application for DOLE AKAP for OFWs based in South Korea effective immediately.

Since the start of its implementation, the Embassy through POLO OWWA has approved the application of 397 displaced OFWs in South Korea who promptly received the financial assistance of USD200.00 each in local currency.

The DOLE AKAP has a limited budget; therefore, POLO OWWA can only process new applications within its budgetary authority on a first come, first served basis.

All applicants are requested to read carefully the Basic and Supplemental Information on DOLE AKAP found in http://www.philembassy-seoul.com/ann_details.asp?id=11464 and http://www.philembassy-seoul.com/ann_details.asp?id=11465 before submitting their application online through https://form.jotform.com/20100147640944.

All information supplied by the applicant shall be verified by POLO OWWA with the employer. Any misrepresentation or false information provided in the application shall be ground for disqualification.

For related queries, the public may contact POLO OWWA through 37853634/5. END
