Thousands of jobs offering
abroad to the Filipino employment overseas , But you can't secure it is safe or
real.
"Mayroon nai-report na
over 300 Filipino victims of illegal recruitment. Ito ang nare-report sa POEA
(Philippine Overseas
Employment Administration). Di
natin alam if more and more Filipinos ang nabibiktima ng illegal
recruiters," said Carolyn Enriquez, the senior marketing manager of
JobStreet.com.
The POEA and Jobstreet.com are
forging a partnership against illegal recruitment.
"This is why we're here.
Kaya natin itigil ang illegal recruitment. We take the responsibility to help
our jobseekers to be more informed about safe, and real overseas jobs,"
said Enriquez.
Almost 1.8 Million Filipinos
have been deployed overseas and the highest number of employees is the
household workers registered. Enriquez said that JobStreet.com has more than
40,000 jobs posting overseas from POEA licensed agencies. All
Agencies are required and must
have a license , BIR, SEC and DTI Registration From POEA.
"All these help
JobStreet.com guarantee that we only partner with POEA licensed agencies to
ensure that they are legal," she said.
There were to many overseas
job opportunities are now shared online using social networking sites, That
mostly the victims were coming from. POEA Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac shared
that he recently stumbled across the Facebook Page of an alleged Canada
Immigration.
"Yung Facebook ng
Canadian immigration pinadalan ako ng imbitasyon sa kanilang page. They post
Canadian jobs without the benefit of a licensed recruiter," he said.
"So pumasok ako doon sabi
ko illegal recruitment ito. Di ko alam kung tinablan sila pero ibibigay ko sa
Anti-illegal Recruitment branch yung
information na yun para maimbistigahan itong Canada immigration Facebook page.
Naniningil pa ng halaga ng pera," he said.
According to Atty. John Rio
Bautista, chief of the POEA's Workers Education Division, they have listed 10
provinces with the biggest number of illegal recruitment cases. He identified
these provinces as Palawan, Laguna, Rizal, Cavite, Pampanga, Bulacan,
Pangasinan, Batangas ,Benguet and Nueva Ecija.
"From 2010 to 2012 ang
atin data. Nag-base kami dito sa walk in complainants namin. Based on the
number of cases handled by the POEA central office," he said.
The bottom line is before you
apply or engage with different agencies check their website , agency status if there
were registered on POEA at http://www.poea.gov.ph/
