BUREAU of Immigration (BI) agents have intercepted at the Cebu International Airport two prospective overseas Filipino workers bound for Hong Kong on suspicion that they were victims of illegal recruitment.
The two passengers—a woman, 44, and a man, 32—were prevented from boarding their Cebu Pacific flight after giving conflicting statements to the Immigration officers.
