Dear All


I am also trying to do direct hiring of my ex-helper. I called Phil Emb but they say - unless your previous helper was w/ u for 2 full yrs, then u can go direct to them. otherwise, you are not able to DIY, must go thru accredited agencies.

I dun nd my helper to undergo any other training setc but bcos of tat cert, we need to pay exhorbitant prices charged by the agencies?

How can we apply the OEC? Possible? But you will still need the POEA isn’t it?

I tried calling Hart before, though cheapest of all but still I don’t need the rest of the things other than the POEA.

When I called the agent yesterday, they mentioned the cost of S$ 2,300 which is used for the processing on both PH and SG side and air ticket.


Can I check if the employer should bear the cost of the agency fees?

Similar to the hiring of a new maid where they would pay off their loans over a 6-month period, I would imagine that this cost would be borne by the maid (direct hire) as well. Is this not the case?

just wondering - any more advices/ feedback on direct hiring Filipino? If there is something not conv to post here, maybe can email/ pm instead.


thks for sharing.
