List of MWO Offices (formerly called POLO-OWWA Offices)

Note: All POLO offices have been renamed to MWO offices (Migrant Workers Office) which are the branches of the Department of Migrant Workers scattered in different overseas locations where many Filipino expats reside. Please be advised of this change.

For OFWs living abroad, it is important that you are aware of the location of the Philippine Embassy and Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO). Whenever you need assistance from our government, make sure to visit the POLO office as this is the assigned body to handle welfare cases.

While OWWA is the Philippine government’s prime agency for OFWs, POLO offices is the actual office where you can seek aid. Here, we have listed the POLO-OWWA branches located in every region of the globe. Please be guided.
