POEA News Advisory
5 May 2014

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration issued preventive
suspension orders against eight recruitment agencies found to have provided
fraudulent documents to their recruited workers who were eventually barred
by the Bureau of Immigration from leaving the country.

Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac identified the recruitment agencies as
Experts Placement Agency, Inc., Zareiko Production, Inc., Dobim International
Manpower Services. Chosen Divine Mercy Manpower Services Corporation,
Tibiao Antique Manpower Corporation, Nahed International Manpower
Services, Trustworthy International Manpower Corporation, and Ridzkey
Human Resources International Services.

The eight agencies were among those previously endorsed to the POEA by the
Bureau of Immigration for administrative sanctions.

Cacdac said the Bureau of Immigration reported that the workers initially
presented at the airport travel and employment documents stating they were
bound for the United Arab Emirates to work as office clerks, salespersons,
cashier, among others, but were also in possession of visas and itinerary tickets
either for Jordan or Lebanon to work as household services workers.

Cacdac directed the POEA’s Adjudication Office to speed up hearing of the
cases and submit their respective recommendations to the Administrator.
