Skyrise

Regarding po sa POEA and ViSa processing dito sa Pinas, ilang original copies po ba ng medical emamination result and dapat kunin sa clinic na pinag medical m0? Binigyan ako ng isang copy naka address sa Malaysian embassy dito sa pinas pero sa POEA processing, kelangan din ng medical examination result..original ba dapat or photocopy lang? Please advise. Thanks!!!

HI Andrew,

Pag nagpamedical ka usually apat na copies ibibigay sayo. Lahat original yan, Hindi Pwede photocopy.

1. MY Embassy
2. POEA
3. Employer
4. Personal

Goodluck!

Thank you skyrise!
Yung binigay sa akin isang copy lang and naka address lang sa MAY Embassy.
So kuha na lang ako ulit.

Hi To All!

I am very thankful sa thread na to. I am also a direct hire. Thanks sa mga inputs nyo, I was really guided through this thread.

I think detailed na yung updated steps (taken from kiten05's posting) posted by lilprgrmr (Reply #73, Page 5).

Additional advice na lang siguro and notes na rin. When you go to embassy, bring as well a copy of your previous employment certificates and diploma to be sure, hiningi sila sa akin. And be dressed properly when you go to the embassy to submit documents and even when you get the visa. No sandals and shorts. Yung nakasabay ko, hindi pinapasok, kasi naka tshirt. Pinabalik sya the following day. Hindi naman kelangan formal I think, naka jeans and polo shirt lang ako and rubber shoes that day. Pinapasok naman. Basta may collar daw. 

In my case, I only received one copy of the document from MDEC (sent by the employer together with the employment letter/contract). It was unsealed. Sa iba kasi, they have 2 copies, the sealed one goes to the embassy and they have personal copy. Sa akin, unsealed pa actually yung from MDEC, kaya pinaphotocopy ko na rin bago ko binigay sa embassy for future reference. Pero tinanggap naman and wala namang tanong kahit unsealed.

Sa POEA, I don't know kung strict sila sa damit, may nakita kasi akong nakashorts and pinapasok naman. Although mas ok na siguro to dress properly. Sa POEA Step 1, hinanap din nila yung previous employment certificates ko as additional document. You might be given a form that contains additional terms to be submitted to your employer and to be acknowledged by the employer. Depende ata kasi sa contents ng contract. Medyo pampatagal din to sa process kasi I have to send the form to employer and wait again for the said form to continue with POEA processing. Pero this will just be presented sa Step 2.

Sa PDOS, I used EWOF, Electronic Workers Onrientation Facility. I would say it's an online PDOS. Same din sya with the classroom type according to the administrator, pero ito kasi, sa PC na lang, one to one. Then naka modules na yung mga babasahin. May exam sa dulo ng module. Although hindi ko alam kung ano yung criteria for the EWOF, I think it's for professionals. Anyways, sinabi lang sa akin ng PDOS administrator about it. And I agreed na rin, kasi that was Thursday, e sabi sa forum walang PDOS pag Fridays. I think mas convenient pa nga sya e.

Initially kasi sa Step 2, you will submit again the verified docs from Step 1, together with PDOS cert and the additional form in  my case. Then they will give the ofw information sheet and pagibig form for you to fill up while waiting for your name to be called again to submit the information sheet and pagibig form. After this, the personnel at Step 2 will tell you to proceed to this window for the PAGIBIG processing. A PAGIBIG number will be given to you. Then to Cashier, sasabihin din ng personnel sa PAG-IBIG where's the cashier. After paying, tapos na. You will get the 3 copies of OEC. Just be sure to check the details on the OEC particularly the spelling of your name and 3 copies dapat.

So tapos na. Hehe. May OFW Guide Book naman, so I guess I am now prepared to go to Malaysia. Hopefully maging okay ang lahat pag nasa Malaysia na. God be with us. God bless us all.

Question :

Mahigpit ba ang Malaysia when it comes to medical exams. Like GCC countries na inde nila accept ang Lung Scar.

@WillR

Yes, sad to say meron akong kilala na consultant but wasn't given a med Cert sa Pinas kasi may Lung Scar rin. 

Sad naman...
Dapat magawan ng paraan dito palang sa pinas...(suhol) 

Hi Will,

I am also from Nityo  dont worry much about it.. coz even if you have lung scar, i refer ka naman nila sa another doctor na nag specialize dun to prove na "clear" ka   let say ndi ka parin ma clear, i believe bibigyan ka ng Nityo ng waiver which happened to some of my colleagues..

post lang kung may tanong

Hay good to hear that....this is my long time agony and doubts applying abroad na turn down na kasi ako sa qatar mahigpit sila dun kahit healed ka na....Nityo company ka nagwowork or CSC?

Nityo then deploy CSC nagwowork si Jammee.

Nasa Nityo na yan kung magbibigay sila ng waiver, Case to case kasi yan.

Try mo Prosperity Medical Clinic sa Taft, ask them baka may maitulong sila. Prove mo lng na clear and healed na yung Lung Scar mo.

CSC din ako idedeploy...done with the medical siguro by monday malaman ko result. Muka naman kasing pera ang mga accredited na clinic dito sa atin hindi pa nakaka alis peperahan ka na. Sa San Marcelino kami inendorse ng Nityo.

I also have the same result, my medical results are OK, except for the xray, eto ang findings.

"Persistent suspicious thickened linear density left base, probably minimal old pulmonary fibrosis"

Medyo wary ako sa result, kasi naman may word na PROBABLY. Para bang hindi pa final. Never ako nagkaroon ng TB or Pneumonia, kaya siguro ang sabi e "minimal old". So by Monday makukuha ko yung final na medical result from that clinic, hopefully magmilagro at maging fit to work kahit na may minimal lung scar, milagro talaga.

However, I have three plans or options.

Plan A: Have a re-test of ches x-ray at the Lung Center of the Philippines, hihingi ng fit to work status at ipapakita sa medical clinic. Pag tinanggap ng medical clinic, edi ok. Nababasa ko din kasi sa ibang forums na may mga gumawa ng ganito, either sa Lung Center or DOH at successful naman sila.

Plan B: Have a second opinion at another medical clinic, preferably sa Prosperity as you guys suggested. Yun nga lang gagastos na naman ng another 4k. If ever lumabas na naman yung lung scar issue, papakita ko na yung result from Lung Center. Pag pumayag, edi ok.

Plan C: If all else fail, hihingi na ako ng waiver from my employer. Direct hire po ako by the way, so wala akong agency.

Favor po mga kababayan, may mga nakaexperience na po ba dito na humingi ng waiver from your employer? Nabasa ko sa taas may nakagawa naman from Nityo. Medyo hindi po kasi familiar yung employer ko about the waiver, kung anong format, kung kanino iaaddress (sa Medical clinic ba or sa Malaysian Embassy?) at kung ano pa.

Office work lang naman ako, so I think valid naman yung reason ko na humingi ng waiver na despite of that minimal lung scar, they are still willing to hire me. Medyo nawawalan na kasi ako ng options and I don't have the luxury of time since I am still working, pahirapan magleave.

Thanks all!

Tanong ko lang. Gaano katagal normally yung processing ng Stage 2 Visa? MSC company yung naghire sa akin. Biglaan kasi na kinailangan kong umalis. Di pa nababalik yung passport ko.
Salamat ulit.

[Update:]

Update:

So my employer decided that I just take another medical exam at another clinic (Prosperity Medical Clinic, along Remedios) and not push through with the waiver. Guess what. I PASSED! Obviously mali ang findings saken ni St. Peter-Paul, kasi hindi lang second at third opinion ang ginawa ko, umabot ako ng fifth opinion sa ibang ospital at Lung Center.

Ang laki laki laki laki laki ng difference ng medical process sa SPP at sa Prosperity. 6 hours sa SPP, sa Prosperity 2 hours lang tapos na lahat. Di hamak na konti lang ang tao, at mas maganda at malinis ang clinic. Kaya I suggest sa mga susunod na mga magpapamedical, sa Prosperity na kayo pumunta, mababait pa mga staff. Yung mismong President pa nagassist saken. Started at around 9:30am, finished by 11:30am, got the results by 3pm. Sabihin niyo na lang na kung pwede makuha same day since galing kayong province.

I apologize for the very bitter post about SPP, hindi ko lang talaga matanggap na nagwaldas ako ng P4k + P800 for medication + P200 for xray retest, only to find out na napakaincompetent na mga specialists nila.

congrats bro! tuloy tuloy na yan..
