Practice question
A Filipino has already been contracted for remunerated overseas work but has not yet left the Philippines. Assuming the other statutory definition requirements are met, is the person excluded from the RA 11641 definition of OFW solely for not yet departing?
- Yes, departure is always indispensable
- No, section 3(g) expressly includes a person contracted for overseas employment who has yet to leave
- Yes, unless the person has paid placement fees
- Yes, unless a foreign court confirms the contract
- No, because every unemployed Filipino is automatically an OFW
