I worked for different agencies but deployed under the same company for 8yrs na. The agencies will only give me the standard COE without the duties/responsibilities. I can get Stat Doc from my Manager where I am deployed pero syempre ang ID nya is ID ng company where I am deployed, not the agency's ID. Pano ko kaya i-prove yun na I am deployed to that company and that she is my manager. Please need your help. Thanks!

I can always supply the specific job descriptions and tasks that I handled, but how do they go and approve it? Do they call my employer and investigate for confirmation, or do they have a strict list of official roles only allowed?
Thanks for the help!
