A migrant advocacy group warned the victims of the recent typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng against non-existent jobs overseas offered by illegal recruiters.
Blas F. Ople Foundation head Susan Ople said they have been receiving reports that there are bogus job offers in Malaysia, Maldives, Syria, and Italy that serve as a front of international drug and smuggling syndicates.
Based on the information shared by Ms Ople to the press, they have information about continuous recruitment activities by human smuggling rings in Malaysia where jobseekers were promised quick deployment on a salary deduction basis, but ended up as victims of forced labor and even prostitution.
"We call on the government to crack down on these syndicates that seek to exploit our people and gain from their miseries during these calamity-stricken times," Ms. Ople said in a press statement. Ms. Ople shared the information to serve as warning to potential victims and at the same time, to alert the authorities, particularly the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).
Ms. Ople said the applicants must always check with the POEA to verify whether the job offers abroad are existing and the recruitment agency is legitimate or not. They can also contact the Foundation at (632) 833-5337 or email blasoplecenter@gmail.com.
For a list of licensed and accredited overseas recruitment agencies, visit the POEA website at www.poea.gov.ph.
