Due to slow demand, POEA temporarily stops registration
of female workers to Korea
Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz yesterday said that the
Philippine Overseas Employment Administration has temporarily stopped the
acceptance of female workers for the forthcoming registration for the Employment
Permit System (EPS) Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) scheduled in July this year.
The temporary stoppage was effected after POEA Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac
disclosed that while Korea’s roster of Filipino workers is almost depleted of male names,
a big number of female applicants remains to be without employers.
"There is a slow demand for women workers in Korea, hence the temporary stoppage of
acceptance of applications for the EPS-TOPIK," said Cacdac.
In a courtesy call to Secretary Baldoz last week, Director General Jeong Eunhee of
HRD Korea-EPS Center in the Philippines admitted that there is now a slump in
demand for women workers in their factories and establishments in contrast with an
increased number of job offers for men applicants lately.
Administrator Cacdac, who was present during the courtesy call, said that in 2012, a
total of 9,372 applicant profiles were transferred to the EPS Roster of Applicants. Some
3,109 workers, 96 percent of them male, were offered employment and were
subsequently deployed.
Of the remaining 4, 943 names in the list, 1,481 are male and 3,462 are female.
Cacdac said that with the 7,900 labor quota assigned to the Philippines this year, HRD
Korea and the POEA is conducting the EPS-TOPIK in August 2013 to replenish the
roster with more male workers.
The said list is separate from the roster of voluntary returnees.
Cacdac, however, reminded applicants that inclusion in the EPS roster, after passing
the TOPIK and the medical examination requirement, is not a guarantee for
employment in South Korea.
“It just gives the applicant a chance to be selected by Korean employers within the
validity of their TOPIK certificate of two years,” Cacdac said.
Meanwhile, voluntary leavers, or OFWs in Korea who had voluntarily come home to the
Philippines after their contracts can register to take the computer-based Special TOPIK
(S-TOPIK) at the CBT Center in POEA. Registration for S-TOPIK is on 16 to 19 April at
the Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC) and in the POEA Regional Centers
in La Union, Cebu and Davao. The list of qualified to register can be viewed in the
POEA website (www.poea.gov.ph).The CBT is intended for them to be able to return to South Korea if they are in the list
supplied by the Korean government. The CBT S-TOPIK will be administered
starting May 20 in batches to be announced at the POEA website. /END

very well said po...agree na ako...

Mas maganda na din ganyan mangyari kesa naman pilitin ang di pwede..lalo lang mas madami ang tatambak na babae..

dapat ubusin munsa yugn mgsa girls na nakapasa bago tumanggap ng panibago

very sad

ay sobrang nalungkot naman ako sa news na to ng mabsa ko sa site ng poea.ang tanong lang ngayon ay maseselect pa kaya ang mga remaining female passers?kasi kung hindi nga sila kukuha ng female sa darating na exam sa july pero di pa rin magseselect sa mga natitira may kawawa pa rin at isa na ko dun.huhuhuhu

maseselect kayo dnt wori ,gurls,

HUWAG MATAKOT NA HINDI NA MAGRERECRUIT NG GIRLS. SA MGA IBANG NALITO, AKALA NILA AY PATI SA PASSERS NG 8TH TOPIK AY KASAMA SILA, THAT IS WRONG, SA SUSUNOD PO YON SA 9TH KLT YON MANGYAYARI. SO ang mga babae ng 8th klt ay halos uubusin na lahat yan halos, kasi nga po ay babawasan muna ang demand sa babae pag nag rerecruit pero ang mga pumasa na ay obligasyon nilang isama sa rooster. kaya nga ang daming babae na nagkaka employer sa 8th topik klt eh. ang dami naming kasabay na babae. So komo magbabawas na ng babae sa 9th topik klt, ang MANGYAYARI AY HALOS MAUUBOS ANG MGA BABAE SA 8TH KLT, RIGHT?

Sabi ko na kc eh..nun pa. Dont put ur bet in just one basket.

sayang naman..gusto ko pa man din sumunod s husband ko..tigil muna pla registration 4 gurls...

wag lng tayo dumepende sa Korea, kasi may makakaalis ,meron hindi.. kung para sa atin,pra sa atin!! FIGHTING nlng lagi. hehe

Mas okay na stop muna, kasi magaantay lang din sila at aasa..

mas nawawalan nako ng pag asa kasi 6th klt pa ako hanggang ngayon wla parin pagbabago haysssssss. ganito parin
