THE Philippine Overseas Employment Administration announced that returning overseas Filipino workers can now process their exit permits even on weekends at selected SM Malls in Metro Manila.

The POEA also released processing schedules for the holidays.

POEA officer-in-charge Stella Banawis said the Global Pinoy Center located at the 5th Level of The Block SM North EDSA in Quezon City and 2nd Level of SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City will be open to accept applications for overseas employment certificates from vacationing workers until Jan. 15, 2011.

Workers can process their documents daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the holidays and beyond, except on January 1, 2011 as the malls will be closed. Gigi Muñoz David
