MANILA, Philippines – Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested an alleged illegal recruiter in Taytay, Rizal.
The NBI is set to file large-scale estafa against the suspect identified as Nilda Pajarillo.
Pajarillo was apprehended immediately after receiving money from new job applicants.
The suspect reportedly promised to send the victims to the United Kingdom to work as caregivers, nurses and house cleaners.
The victims said Pajarillo showed them photos of their supposed employer, a certain Dr. Cole, and a hospital in the UK which the suspect said was in need of hundreds of Filipino workers.
After enticing the victims with job opportunities, the suspect then collected payment ranging from P10,000 to 25,000 from each applicant.
Other victims are urged to come forward and file a complaint against the suspect.
For her part, Pajarillo said she was just tasked by a certain Janet to collect the money from the victims.
Authorities reminded the public to check if the agency offering overseas employment is licensed with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). -- Report from Francis Faulve, ABS-CBN News
