KINDLY SHARE: BANTAY POEA PROJECT of Maria Elizabeth Embry BE AWARE & BEWARE, UNLICENSED RECRUITERS ALERT from POEA RRR INTL TRAINING CENTER, GRACE MANUEL, REGULUS SIR BONG MALLARI gmanetwork/news/story/387985/pinoyabroad/news/poea-padlocks-training-center-for-illegal-recruitment A training center in Pampanga has been ordered closed after it was found recruiting factory workers for Japan and Korea, the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration said. POEA Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac ordered the padlocking of RRR International Training Center Inc. at DRT G27 at Plaza Cristina Building in Dolores, San Fernando City. The training center was reported to have been offering Korean language course but its name was not found in the updated TESDA (Technical Educational Skills Development Authority) registry of technical and vocational institutions (TVIs) and training programs, POEA said. Citing information from at least 18 applicants of the training center, the POEA said the establishment was owned by Grace Manuel and Regulus “Sir Bong” Mallari. The POEA noted Mallari had been arrested earlier this year at the POEA premises for alleged illegal recruitment. It said Mallari was detained at Philippine National Police headquarters in Camp Crame but was reportedly still communicating with the applicants. Cacdac ordered charges of illegal recruitment filed against Manuel, Mallari and other officers and employees of RRR International Training Center. He also ordered their inclusion in the POEA List of Persons with Derogatory Record. In the meantime, the POEA reminded OFWs that training centers have no authority to recruit applicants for jobs abroad. Cacdac said training centers have no license or authority to recruit Filipino workers but some use publicized job opportunities abroad to entice applicants
