Good day!
Companies have different policies regarding fees. But generally, all expenses related to application processing including placement fees are shouldered by the employer. Including also poea, initial payment for owwa, pagibig and sss.
I spent only few thousands for the medical/dental exam. You will undergo check-up 2x. During filing of application for work permit and before filing of visa to PNG embassy in the phils.For the medical/dental fees I spent Php4k, excluding dental treatment and addtl medical consultation.
Your placement agency is more than willing to discuss this with you as their SOP.
