POEA stops agency recruiting for Austria

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration yesterday suspended the license of a recruitment agency reported to be enlisting Filipino workers for supposed employment in Austria. Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said he issued the suspension order for Marhaba International Management Services based on the sworn statement filed on February by four (4) applicants who complained of the agency’s failure to deploy them to Austria.

The complainants alleged that they applied with Marhaba International Management Services at its office in BDO Building, Bocobo St., Ermita, Manila but they have not been deployed after more than a year and paying a total of Php267,500.00 for placement and visa fees. Cacdac said Marhaba International has no job order nor accreditation from any employer in Austria.

POEA records showed that four (4) cases against Marhaba were also filed on February 21, 2013, aside from nine (9) other recruitment violation cases previously filed against the agency. Cacdac said he suspended the license of Marhaba International Management Sevices pending resolution of the cases pursuant to Section 16, Rule III, Part VI of the Rules and Regulations Governing the Recruitment and Employment of Land-based Overseas Workers.
