POEA suspends recruiters, foreign employers Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac Administration has ordered the preventive suspension of four recruitment agencies found circumventing government rules and regulation on the recruitment and placement of Filipino household service workers (HSWs). Cacdac said the agencies, Easyway International Recruitment Agency, Marie Gold International Manpower Services, LBH International Placement Agency, and Chosen Divine Mercy Manpower Services, committed misrepresentation when they submitted for processing by the POEA documents of HSW applicants under different job titles. Cacdac said the modus operandi of deploying domestic workers under a different visa is often used by some recruitment agencies deploying HSWs to United Arab Emirates, which have acquired visas for office clerks, cleaners, cooks, beauticians, sales persons, and other service workers. Cacdac advised HSWs wanting to work overseas not to accept visas indicating a position other than of a household service worker, to avoid abuse and exploitation. “HSWs who are deployed using another visa are most likely not ready to work as a household help, because they have not gone through the process of training and certification, and language and culture orientation,” Cacdac said. Cacdac also ordered the preventive suspension of the following foreign agencies and employers: al Hamidieh Restaurant, Al Mansoor Labour Supply, Perfect Hairdressing Salon, Mohammed Saifa, Legrab Almheiri, Smart Filtration Solutions LLC and Saeed Hussan Abdalla Abnar, Dessert Star Fashion Sarjah, al AMathar Al jaya Beauty Salon, Universal Services Center, al massam Trading LLC, Al Najem Trading Services, Hellery Fashion, Aberda Fashion, Abu Baker Al Tuob Trading LLC, Julfar Services Office, 360 Beauty Saloon, and Al Hamtoor Trading LLC. He said the order of preventive suspension is meant to stop recruitment agencies and foreign employers from further recruitment of overseas Filipino workers, pending investigation of the misrepresentation cases filed against them./END
