THE Department of Labor and Employment offered a P50,000 reward for any citizen who can report illegal recruiters who victimized Filipinos seeking better work opportunities overseas.
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello said concerned citizens who will report illegal recruitment activities which will lead to the arrest of illegal recruiters will receive P50,000 as reward. He added that the said bounty will motivate citizens to report their illegal activities to authorities.
“Illegal recruitment has to stop and its perpetrators jailed,” Bello said, explaing that the P50,000 reward will come from an association of private recruitment agencies.
He added that the public can start reporting illegal recruitment activities once the DoLE 24/7 Hotline is activated.
