as per the procedures given to me, i will go to POEA only when visa has already been stamped by Qatar Embassy here in Phils...

here is what's written...
5.Once the passport with stamped visa was received, proceed to Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) for verification of the of employment contract and submit the following document for issuance of exit pass or Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC):
•Original employment contract
•Visa
•Medical Certificate
•PRC License
•Pre-departure orientation seminar certificate (to be scheduled and provided by POEA)

got very nice support from the employer, it was them who introduced QL to me. =)
