MANILA, Philippines — A suspected illegal recruiter who made false promises to four individuals to work in Qatar was arrested in her home in Quezon City following an entrapment operation.
Chief Inspector Rodelio Marcelo, chief of Quezon City Police District's Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (QCPD-CIDU), identified the suspect as Crisilyn Batican, 31, a nurse.
Her alleged cohort, Evelyn Licop, remains at large.
Marcelo said Batican was already subjected to inquest proceedings before the City Prosecutor's Office on charges of illegal recruitment under Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act.
So far, four victims have surfaced to file complaints against the two suspects. They are Salvacion Crispo, 28, of Baclaran, Parañaque City, and Arlyn Fedelicio, Francisco Diamante, and Maria Cristina Eslera, all of Bagong Nayon, Bagbagin, Valenzuela City.
