POEA warns applicants on non existent jobs in Italy

NEWS ADVISORY
3 October 2013

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration yesterday issued a warning to Fili pino workers against accepting offers to work for Baggio S.p.a.Transporti Combinati in Italy.

Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac said he received a report that a certain Andrew Lorenzo, who claimed to be employed by the company, has been recruiting Filipinos to work in the said company but their employment documents would be processed through direct hiring in Malaysia.

The report said an agent named Arnie Almazan based in Malaysia charged  the applicants Php55,000 for placement and visa fee. Another agent in the Philippines asked them to pay Php6,000, allegedly for POEA processing fee.

Cacdac said Andrew Lorenzo and Arnie Almazan have no authority to recruit from the POEA and therefore were engaging in illegal recruitment activities.

Baggio S.p.a. Transporti Combinati is a freight forwarding company based in Venice, Italy but is not accredited with any licensed recruitment agency in the Philippines.

Recruitment of workers through a third country is an old modus operandi in illegal recruitment,
Cacdac said.
