Memorandum Circular No. 1
Series of 2002
TO : All Accredited
Agencies/Entities Providing Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS)
for Overseas
Filipino Workers
SUBJECT : HIV/AIDS Education in the PDOS
There
is an increasing recognition that migrants and mobile populations are
more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS than populations that do not move.
Given the fact that millions of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs)
compose the greater bulk of Filipino migrant workers, the government
recognizes an urgent need to systematically implement an HIV/AIDS
prevention and control program.
In
coordination with other concerned authorities in both the national and
international levels, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration
(POEA) has thus adopted a preventive strategy by integrating an
HIV/AIDS Education component in its mandatory Pre Departure Orientation
Seminar (PDOS) and other information/education programs for OFWs.
All
accredited PDOS providers are therefore directed to integrate the
HIV/AIDS module for OFWs in their PDOS. All accredited trainors
who have not attended training on the new module shall coordinate with
the Workers Education Division, Welfare and Employment Office for
scheduling.
This Memorandum Circular takes effect immediately.
For compliance.
