I am an expatriate who was hired from the Philippines. I have been 4 years with this company. Can I transfer to another company?

Answer: Yes, you can. According to instructions from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, expatriates who have been hired from abroad should be allowed to transfer after 3 years of service. If the company refuses to do so, you can approach the Labor Department in your area which will sanction the transfer.
