The case against Sacred Heart International was filed after eight Filipino construction workers in New Zealand alleged that they each paid the agency P330,000 but the receipt issued to them was only for P120,000. In a statement, POEA administrator Hans Leo Cacdac said the companys foreign principal and direct employer in New Zealand, Business Immigration and Valiant Homes, Inc., is not allowed to hire workers from the Philippines until further ordered by the POEA. He said based on a letter endorsed by the Philippine Embassy in New Zealand, the POEA has motu propio initiated complaint against Sacred Heart International. With the order, the company is barred from deploying overseas Filipino workers pending resolution of recruitment violation cases filed against the firm. Based on the approved contracts, the workers were to receive a salary of NZ$20 per hour or a weekly salary of NZ$800 computed at 40 workhours per week. The salary offered was approximately P30,000 per week or P120,000 a month calculated at the prevailing exchange rate on the dates of their deployment. In the jobsite, the workers alleged that their actual salaries on their respective pay slips did not match with the time sheets they submitted to the company, indicating short payment of amounts equivalent to three to four hours of work or NZ$60 to NZ$80 per week. The Filipino workers also claimed that the company deducted NZ$30 from their salary supposedly for service fee, and that they were forced to work on Saturdays under the threat of being sent back to the Philippines. They added that the agency endorsed them to lending companies that charged them high interest rates, resulting in their total loan ballooning to almost P500,000. —KBK, GMA News
