The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) announced that South Korea will need some 1,500 male and female Filipino workers who have the knowledge on how to speak at least basic Korean language.

The POEA added that 100 slots out of 1,500 are available for women.

The POEA slated a nationwide Korean language examination simultaneously in Manila, Cebu and Davao on October 29 from 2pm to 3:30pm. Qualified applicants of the scheduled language test for this job opportunity are those who are already registered with the POEA. 

Registration fee for the Korean language test is P1,500 or $30 per examinee. Payment should be made directly to the bank and this will go to the International Korean Language federation who will officially conduct the examination.

Applicants below 39 years old are requested to report to POEA to fill out necessary forms and get important documents that should be presented during the examination.

Names of successful examinees will be submitted to the Labor department of Korea right away, and then the employers will choose among them.
