11 recruitment firms delisted for failure to comply with POEA requirements

The government has delisted 11 recruitment firms for their failure to comply with the requirements set by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA).

According to POEA administrator Hans Leo Cacdac, the agencies are:

  • Summit Placement and Resources Transfer Corp.;
  • BLT Global Manpower Services Inc.;
  • Amirah Umaimah Human Resources Inc.;
  • Human Resources Overseas Employment Agency Inc.;
  • A & S Manpower Resources Inc.;
  • Global Hospitality Placement Agency Philippines Corp.
  • ETT Innovative Manpower Solutions Inc.
  • Transnational Resources Inc.
  • IDC Manpower Services Inc.
  • Kookies International Recruitment Agency Inc.
  • FMR-1990 Staffing Services Inc.

“Their licenses were revoked,” Cacdac said.

The first seven agencies were delisted for their failure to upgrade their provisional licenses to full licenses within the prescribed period, Cacdac said, but clarified that the operators of these agencies have not been blacklisted and could still open new recruitment firms provided they follow POEA rules.

On the other hand, Transnational Resources Inc. and IDC Manpower Services Inc. were delisted for their failure to submit applications for renewal of their licenses within the prescribed period.

The licenses of Kookies International Recruitment Agency Inc. and FMR-1990 Staffing Services Inc., meanwhile, were also canceled due to suspension prior to expiry of their licenses.

Cacdac noted that the order is final and the agencies no longer need to complete the requirements.— KBK, GMA News

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...
