We acknowledge receipt of your email to the POEA Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac regarding the case of OFW xxxx. Please be informed that her case has been coordinated with Atty. Jesus Gabriel C. Domingo, OIC-Deputy Administrator, Licensing and Adjudication for appropriate action. Based on our preliminary investigation and upon checking in our verification system, OFW xxxxx does not have an Information Sheet and it is probable that she was not actually documented. On the other hand, An Order of Preventive Suspension was issued to A-M Phil effective 21 May 2014. In the interim, per instructions of OIC-Deputy Administrator Domingo and as part of case build up for the docketing of appropriate recruitment violation case against A-M Phil and MECCAJ, may we respectfully request for other details regarding the deployment of OFW xxxx, as well as her contact details so that we can secure her statement and proceed with the investigation and filing of the case as soon as possible. Please be advised that we have coordinated with POLO-Riyadh and requested for a similar report on the case of OFW xxxx. We have likewise directed both agencies to submit a written explanation on their respective participation in the deployment of OFW xxxx. Your response on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
