The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) is encouraging qualified Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to avail of the Balik-Manggagawa (BM) OnlineProcessing System. The BM is a web-based facility that enables the Balik-Manggagawa (BM) or vacationing OFW to apply online for Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) and have the approved OEC printed by him/her anywhere,anytime. This aims to expedite the issuance of OEC to vacationing OFWs who will return to their respective foreign employers/principals.

The BM is available only for workers on vacation, rehired, or returning to the same employer, and with existing record in the POEA database. If a Balik-Manggagawa or returning worker does not meet the above criteria, the applicant will be redirected to the POEA BM APPOINTMENT PAGE for regular processing of OEC's on the applicant’s chosen date, time and processing site.

The BM can be accessed through: https://www.bmonline.ph/
