66 face raps for illegal recruitment to South Korea
The Philippine Star
|March 03, 2024
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said at least 66 people were slapped with criminal complaints for their alleged involvement in an illegal recruitment scheme targeting "Seasonal Work Program" (SWP) participants.
The Philippines is seeking a binding agreement with South Korea for the protection of Filipinos hired under SWPs.
"We are already on track and, hopefully, in the near future, the national-to-national government agreement that we want may materialize," DMW officer-in-charge Undersecretary Hans Leo Cacdac said at a news forum in Quezon City.
He said they have filed cases of illegal recruitment and estafa against the suspects before the Department of Justice.
Cacdac said unscrupulous individuals would act as brokers, demanding fees ranging from P20,000 to P100,000 from Filipinos hired as workers in farms in South Korea.
"They demand this (fee) from the worker before they leave, and if the worker is unable to pay, they would be in debt to whoever this broker is," he said.
