Submission of fake documents is misrepresentation Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac yesterday said that a recruitment agency that submits forged documents to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration is liable for misrepresentation. Cacdac said misrepresentation cannot only be committed to the applicant-worker but also to the POEA itself which is the agency mandated to oversee and regulate overseas employment. “We consistently ruled that misrepresentation is incurred when a licensed recruitment agency furnished or published false notice, information or document in relation to recruitment and placement of overseas Filipino workers,” Cacdac said. Several licensed recruiters have already been penalized for submission of forged TESDA NCII certificates. Just recently, Cacdac ordered the cancellation of the license of Jardy International Promotion Agency, Mi Amore International Services, Inc, Greenback International Manpower Services, and the suspension of the license of Beracah Human Resources Consultancy, Global Medical Systems, Inc and Cinderella International Manpower Services Corporation, for passing on to the POEA fake Comprehensive Pre-Departure Education Program Certificates of Attendance (CPDEP-COA). “These agencies are liable for leading the POEA to believe that the documents of applicants are authentic, when in truth, the subject certificates are fraudulent,” Cacdac said. The penalty of cancellation of license is imposed on a recruitment agency that was found to have committed misrepresentation for the third time. Cacdac had earlier reminded recruitment agencies that they were expected to ensure the authenticity and validity of documents submitted to the POEA because they are liable for any irregularity in its issuance. As a consequence of the penalty of cancellation of license, the officers and directors of Jardy International Promotion Agency, Mi Amore International Services, Inc, and Greenback International Manpower Services at the time of the commission of the offense are disqualified from participating in the business of recruitment and placement of Overseas Filipino Workers. /END
