(UPDATE) To bring Philippine emigrant services closer to the airports and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) announced it was moving its main office from Quezon City to Pasay City.
Effective Sept. 1, the agency will hold office at the ninth floor of the Nexgen Tower at C-4 Road, EDSA Extension, in Pasay.
CFO Secretary Dante Ang II said the move was aimed at bringing services closer to the DFA and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, as well as several foreign embassies located in Pasay.
Migrants can now easily access various government services and transactions with foreign posts that are required in the migration process.
“Here at CFO, we put our constituents first. We make sure that our primary consideration in big decisions like this is providing greater convenience for Filipino emigrants. We’re always looking to improve our services and how we deliver,” Ang said in a statement.
“We’ll do what we can to make it more convenient both for our constituents and our workforce during the transition period. We’re hoping this move leads to more extension offices to make our services more accessible to outbound Filipinos across the country,” he said., This news data comes from:http://www.jyxingfa.com

The CFO advised preregistered participants of the agency’s Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar, Guidance and Counseling Program, to proceed to the new office.
The agency’s office is also closer to the homes and residences of its employees, 70 percent of whom reside in nearby areas, including Parañaque City and the province of Cavite.
“Aside from its clear benefits for CFO’s emigrant constituents, the move is also more cost-effective as it translates to a 10 percent decrease in rental fees giving taxpayers their money’s worth. The agency will also now be able to provide more parking spaces for frontline service and visiting stakeholders,” the agency’s statement read.
The CFO’s former office was at the 21st floor of the Upperclass Tower on Quezon Avenue.
