Workers-on-Leave (WoL) or Balik-Manggagawa (BM)
The overseas Filipino workers (OFW) who are on leave for a specified period, and would be returning to their employer after a certain time are called workers-on-leave (WoL) or balik-manggawa (BM). Before an OFW can go back to work, he or she is required to get a travel exit clearance from Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). This government agency issues this clearance to all outgoing Filipino migrant workers, which serve as an exit pass at the airport and likewise to exempt an OFW for paying travel tax and airport terminal fee when leaving the country for employment purposes.
