Summary: 

Pre Departure Orientations Seminar or PDOs stands in contrast to the PEOS. The PDOS is conducted just immediately, prior to departure or when migrants already have a contract of work. It is an educational programme designed to assist successful applicants for organized recruitment prior to their actual deployment, with information on the laws and procedues, cultural idiosyncracies and practices of the host country.  The Filippino government also holds a special hotline - anti-trafficking hotline 1343 which provides online legal counselling as well for anybody who needs it. One-stop shops and PDOs satellites are also are established in malls.
