Practice question
A help desk automatically labels every Filipino abroad an OFW. Its list includes a paid temporary worker meeting RA11641’s qualifications, a person vacationing without any overseas employment, and a participant in a government-recognized cultural and educational exchange visitor program. Which correction is most accurate?
- All three qualify solely because they crossed the border
- Only the tourist qualifies
- Apply the statutory remunerated-activity requirements and the express exchange-program exclusion rather than use presence abroad alone
- Exclude every paid worker because compensation is irrelevant
- Only foreign permanent residents can qualify under RA11641
