23 - DFA warns Pinoys against fake job offers in China
Tuesday, October 23 2007 @ 04:26 PM UTCNews affecting OFW's
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has warned Filipino jobseekers against a scam allegedly perpetrated by illegal recruiters in the Philippines and China that promises non-existent jobs as domestic helpers in mainland China in exchange of a fee of more than P100,000.
In a report to the DFA, Philippine Ambassador to Beijing Sonia Cataumber Brady reminded the Filipinos that foreign nationals are not allowed to hold jobs as housekeepers/domestic helpers/nannies in mainland China.
"Illegal recruiters continue to victimize Filipinos, which has resulted in the increasing number of our countrymen coming and staying in China with inappropriate documentation," Ambassador Brady said.
With irregular jobs, some of these victims were unable to reclaim their passports because they do not have the money to pay for the agents' services of up to 4,000 yuan (P24,000).
"An inspection conducted in June 2007 by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau in Maquanying, an area where a number of Filipinos live in Beijing, resulted in the arrest of two Filipinos because they could not show to authorities a legal permit to work, as their passports were in the hands of visa agents, and the confiscation of about 17 Philippine passports with suspicious visas. As a result, our kababayans may be deported for staying and working illegally in China," Brady said.She said the Philippine Embassy has been informed by Chinese officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Public Security Bureau that domestic service employment in China is closed to foreigners.
"The Embassy has been warning Filipinos not to accept job offers from recruiters as domestic helpers in China because it is unlawful to work as a domestic helper in China," she said.
