Unrealistic Memorandum for OFWs

This Memo would definitely drive many Overseas Filipino Workers mad in sympathy to the hopeful newbies on the ISSUE of bonds for direct hires. This is seemingly worst than Malu Fernandez episode. Memorandum No. 4 of the POEA specifically addresses the case of potential OFWs. It imposes guidelines to employers who wish to hire Filipino workers which is undesirably getting impractical unless the employer comply on these two specific requirements of:
1. Performance Bond worth three months salary
2. Repatriation Bond worth 5,000 US Dollars

Great! So IF my visa expires today and let’s say for two months I’m jobless, eventually for the time being I will stay here in Thailand as a tourist. By the time the Institute hires me again on April, under the skilled worker category in Memo #4, will I be subjected to this law when I go home to apply for a new visa and pay some dues at the POEA? The big Question here is– will my current employer risk this much hassle for me? Maybe I’m just overreacting but for sure this spells TROUBLE. I hate to speculate any further over such unrealistic order. But I’d rather hope that this office would stop suppressing the chances of every qualified individual with equal rights for a better life.

I have signed the PETITION in decrying this new memorandum. This order is definitely not feasible.
