POEA cancels license of 3 recruiters for misrepresentation



The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) recently canceled the
license of Greenback International Manpower, Realworld Corporation, and Al Miladi
Manpower Services, Inc. for violating Section 2e of Rule I, Part VI of the POEA Rules and
Regulations, which prohibits “furnishing or publishing any false notice, information or
document in relation to recruitment and employment” of OFWs.
Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said the penalty of cancellation of license is meted
against a licensed recruitment agency after three violations of the regulation on
misrepresentation.
Cacdac said that in two instances, Greenback International Manpower deceived the POEA
by submitting documents of workers for processing as food and room attendants, instead of
domestic helpers as indicated in their individual work visas.
“Greenback, by providing information to the POEA different from what they contracted the
workers for, has tried to avoid the stricter regulations on the deployment of Filipino
household service workers,” Cacdac said.
In another case, Greenback recruited an applicant to work as “beautician” but without the
applicant’s knowledge, her documents were processed as “cleaner” by Realworld
Corporation.
Cacdac said it is evident that Greenback connived with Realworld in falsely documenting
the complainant’s employment abroad and submitting fabricated information to POEA
contrary to the real intention and work application made by the complainant.
“This is a clear case of “re-processing” which is prohibited under the POEA rules. The fact
that the applicant was transferred and therefore deployed by another agency is proof
enough of the absence of an available job opening for the position she applied for with
Greenback,” Cacdac added.
Greenback International Manpower was also found to have processed the documents of
and deployed an unsuspecting applicant of Al Miladi Manpower Services, Inc.to work with
an employer registered to its name. /END
Cacdac said Greenback International Manpower has engaged in a duplicitous scheme to
circumvent POEA rules and regulations, and must therefore be stopped from further
deceiving OFWs. /

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
