At least two more offices will be on hand to process Balik Manggagawa cases, for overseas Filipino workers heading abroad for work in December and January, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration said.

POEA administrator Hans Leo Cacdac said these include the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration office in Pasay City and the Pag-IBIG office at Buendia in Makati City.
