The Department of Migrant Workers says some of the complainants in cases against alleged illegal recruitment operations in Italy are relatives of at least 215 jobseekers who were duped tens of thousands of pesos for fake job offers

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Migrant Workers on Thursday, October 5, reminded Filipinos aspiring to work abroad to go through legal recruitment processes, and not just avail of seemingly easier processes recommended by relatives.

“We always remind our countrymen who wish to work abroad to go through the usual and normal process of deployment. Our countrymen’s relatives were involved here. Even if relatives recommended [a certain way], what is important is that we have to comply with the correct deployment procedures,” said Migrant Workers Undersecretary Bernard Olalia in a mix of English and Filipino.

The Filipinos were offered service jobs, like in hotels and restaurants. But upon applying for visas, the Italian embassy in Manila found that the attached supposed work permits were not genuine. The Italian embassy earlier confirmed to Rappler that it had rejected at least 131 applications.
