      Paano po maedit ang info like marriage status kase single ako tapos married nakalagay, ito pa malala, may pangalang nakalagay sa beneficiary as my spouse daw pero di ko naman kilala at ang apelyido ay yung mismong apelyido ko, tapos ang nalagay na apelyido ng tatay ko ay yung mismong apelyido ng nanay ko noong dalaga pa. Ang gulo po, paano kaya maedit yun? Wala kaseng nakalagay na edit para dun.

      1. Admin - Online Quick Guide January 20, 2023Reply

        Hi Kabayan, sa ngayon wala pa silang edit button para maedit ang beneficiary at iba pang details.
        Itry mo mag-email sa OWWA, [emailprotected], para maitanong kung maari mong papalitan ang iyong details sa OWWA profile mo. Bka kailagan mo ln magsend ng mga documents para mapalitan ang details. Try mo din i-visit ang FB page ng OWWA at i-chat sila para sa iyong katanungan, https://www.facebook.com/OWWAofficial.

        At kung hindi pwede, baka kailangan mo bumisita sa any OWWA branch para ipa-update ang details.

    Hi good evening. What if permanent resident ka na ng particular na bansa, and nag change employer ka dahil you’re out of contract na from your previous employer. Pwede ka pa rin bang mag member sa OWWA? Can we update the following employer name, address and the like dito sa app..Salamat in advance sa reply

    1. Admin - Online Quick Guide January 16, 2022Reply

      sa tingin ko member ka pa rin naman… di pwede i-edit sa app ang employer name, etc.
      pwede ka tumawag o pumunta sa OWWA/POLO, kung nasaan bansa ka man ngaun, para itanong ang process ng pag-update ng OWWA details mo.
      ito ang directory ng OWWA, hanapin mo un country kung nasaan ka ngaun para macheck ang contact details nila, https://owwa.gov.ph/?page_id=4172
