The Department of Labor and Employment yesterday reported the blacklisting of 21 foreign recruitment agencies and direct employers as well as the suspension or cancellation of licenses of 19 erring local recruitment firms.
According to the Labor department, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration said those meted with suspension, fine, or cancellation of licenses were found to have violated recruitment rules from January to July.
The DoLE added that the move was part of the continuing bid by the government to rid the overseas placement industry of “misfits.”
“Cleansing the industry is part of the intensified regulatory exercise to protect the Filipino workers and promote the welfare of those seeking overseas employment,” Administrator Bernard Olalia of the POEA said.
