Ito ang isang post na tungkol sa SSW, maraming valid points.
SSW Concern! Here’s our chance, comment your ideas and concern below
There were two scenarios: 1. Philippine Hired at 2. Japan-Direct Hired
Philippine-hired workers
SSW Philippine Hired workers doesnt have any problem at all kasi they were process by the PRA/POEA.
On the other hand.
SSW Japan Direct Hire
-
This was happened when it was first introduce last 2019, when lots of trainees who completed their 3 years contract were not able to go back to phil bec of the height of the pandemic (2019-2020).
-
Student visa who were able to get the Job via SSW visa.
-
Working Visa were change to SSW bec of the Job Criteria na pasok lang for skills/SSW
-
EPA Nurses who did not passed and were able to extend their stay via SSW visa Category.
-
Designated Visa who were able to change their visa to full time work via SSW
Here’s the catch.
All of the Japan Company can provide all the necesary requirements/documents for their employees contract verification
However some company are not open to get PRA because of the high fees that PRA were asking for the documentation of the filipino worker.
So some of the ssw filipino workers, kahit super okay na sila company nila is napipilitan magresigned and maghanap ng mga polo accredited company.
Some ssw filipino workers choose to stay to their polo not accredited company because who wants to go away if you are they are getting the same salary and benefits of a japanese worker?so some filipino workers titiisin nalang yung five years ng walang uwian sa pilipinas.
We know about the bilateral agreement of the philippines and Japan.
Pero if Japan is allowing other foreign workers, to change their visa to SSW with no problem at all and they were able to get home on their own country to visit their family esp sa mga long vacation, why Filipinos cant?
Is there any consideration na maverify lahat ng SSW worker holder (hired sa japan) even without the PRA? Even without making our company to pay High Fees for the PRA? Because we are already hired, we already paid owwa, we continue to pay for pagibig and philhealth and sss, we are already contributing to the country thru remittances.
We can do the documentation and pass the necessary requirements required by POLO pero why POLO can’t do the verification without the PRA? They told us NO FEES, pero once you were negotiating na sa PRA sa pinas they were asking our company for a lots of fees (minsan equivalent pa sa one month ng sahod ng worker). Some companies were not okay with that.
Our concern is sana magkaron ng isang specific department sa POLO JAPAN, where they can have consideration sa mga na direct hire na ssw filipinos and were able to provide complete documents, pasok sa salary and benefits required na makapg paverify ng contract nila without telling them to find PRA.
We just wanted to visit our family in the Phil esp pag may long vacation, pero knowing if we dont have our POLO verified contract on hand, we just tend to stay for another 5 years kasi sayang naman yung opportunity japan given kung hindi makakabalik bec of the single document needed to go back (the OEC).

Sana maging okay yung pagkakaroon ng specific agency.
Against lang ako sa mga kapwa Pilipino(na nagrerecruit) at naniningil ng kung ano-ano para sa mga training.
I have friends and mga kakilala na siningil para sa training(specifically Building Cleaning Practical Training). Sa company namin marami nagresign dahil nagoyo na makakakuha ng SSW visa last 2020(kasagsagan ng pandemic). Ang ending, puro visa extension lang nai apply (w/c is still under the company’s name) dahil di nila nameet yung requirements (JLT/JLPT cert and Skill Cert(Building Cleaning Cert).
Ngayon,andami na namang naengganyo sa mga kawork ko. Hindi nagsipag renew sa company namin at nasa hotel nagwowork (visa extension). Yung isa kong friend, kauuwi lang kasi wala sya language certificate,pinangakuan ng recruiter na makakabalik dito(which I doubt kasi ang sinabi sa kanya eh tourist visa daw).
Payo lang sa mga nasa company pa na nagbabalak mag shift to SSW Visa,wag po kayo maniwala sa sabi-sabi ng iba na makakakuha kayo nun kahit di naman kompleto requirements nyo. Huwag din po kayo sumama sa kakilala nyo na nagsabi na okay ang magiging work nyo dun. Paunahin nyo po muna silang ma visa-han.Siguraduhin nyo po na may bala kayo bago umalis sa pinagtratrabahuan nyo.
SSW , no POLO verification. 2years in process. Employer is willing to pay, willing to cooperate. but POLO tokyo is asking for too much. Sobrang mendokusai sa part ni employer n willing n nga magbayad pinapahirapan pa sa paulit ulit n pagpapa revise nila ng contract!
Same 5 years nang hindi nakakauwi. trainee to ssw.
D bah po if SSW w/ PRA maliit yung sahod ksi ngbabayad pa c company sa PRA so ang labas parang yung worker yung ngbayad sa PRA tama po bah?.Pero pg direct hire ka dito as SSW malaki yung sahod ksi wlang PRA
Same here. Student to SSW.
