    Provider checklist — Philippines

    Last updated:

    Ask these questions in writing before you book. A reputable provider will answer them clearly. Evasion or vague responses are a red flag.

    • Is the partner organisation registered with the DSWD (Department of Social Welfare)?
    • Are placements at residential children's homes?
    • What's the disaster-response training requirement (if relevant)?
    • What's the visa-extension protocol for stays over 30 days?
