Beware of Illegal Recruiters

Posted by Benj Arriola on December 19, 2006 · 2 Comments 

I have always noticed ever since I was a kid, I have read in the newspapers, watched on TV, heard on the radio all about illegal recruitment agencies in the Philippines. There is always a company out there to fool people, and there are also a lot of victims all the time as they are lured into the trap of getting abroad and earning more to help in the expenses of the family and being able to climb their way out of poverty.

While there are people that can be fooled, companies like this will exist. And sometimes the victims are walking on the edge of the precipice, spending their last centavo and is in deep debt, expecting to get out of the country and being able to pay all debts once they get to work abroad.

The the applicants of recruitment agencies, my advice is to know the legalities of a company and get in touch with the POEA and ask questions. I know going to government agencies can sometimes be pain, long lines, a lot of people and you do not know where to go and there does not seem to be anyone reliable to answer your questions. Calling on the phone or sending emails may not work that effective either, but just have patience and go through it. It is better to go through this than losing a large amount of money or being able to go to another country only to be treated like an animal.

Like the story of Cita B. Garcia who is now support Eric Latade in a legal fight with P-Mac International Management, Inc. Garcia has told the story about Latade that work his was to obtain P300,000 that I believe mainly came from a loan from mortgage. Latade’s mother , coming from the lower class, sells cooked food in plastic bags. Find your way of helping Eric Latade and supporting Cita Garcia’s fight against, P-Mac International Management, Inc. even in your own small way. Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

    That’s crap. If I we’re that, I should have used that 300,00 for something useful. LIke a business or something.

    Somehow this agencies, use some kind of Hypnosis to convince their targets. But anyway, they’re full of shitty crap and would love to give them a kick in the ass :) , Haha that’s a joke.
