ADVISORY ON CFO STOCK ESTIMATE OF FILIPINOS OVERSEAS
Please be advised that we have discontinued the Stock Estimate of Filipinos Overseas. The 2013 release is the last one that we produced. To ensure policy coherence with other government agencies, we rely on data produced by the Department of Foreign Affairs on matters pertaining to overseas Filipinos.
The Stock Estimate is the aggregate of all Filipinos residing or working overseas at a given time. It consists of three categories – permanent, temporary and irregular migrants:
1. Permanent migrants include Filipino immigrants, legal permanent residents, and naturalized citizens of their host country. 2. Temporary migrants include the documented land-based and sea-based workers and others whose stay abroad is six month or more, including their accompanying dependents. These migrants are popularly referred to as overseas Filipino workers or OFWs. 3. Irregular migrants are Filipinos who are without valid residence or work permits, or who may be overstaying workers or tourists in a foreign country.
The main sources of the Stock Estimate include the administrative data of different government agencies such as CFO, POEA, and DFA. The latest stock estimate published by the CFO was as of December 2013.
The CFO data on registered Filipino emigrants, EVP, and au pairs are updated annually, and may be accessed in the Statistics Section https://cfo.gov.ph/statistics-2/
For queries, please contact Mr. Frencel Tingga of the Policy, Planning and Research Division of the CFO at tel. no. 8552-4766 or email at ftingga@cfo.gov.ph.
If you are interested in other data that is not available here, you may send a data request to CFO through the *eFOI platform (www.foi.gov.ph).
