Six Filipinos who were on their way to work in Dubai were rescued last week from an alleged illegal recruiter.
Four of the workers were found on Thursday at a house where the recruiter, Mary Jane Alcala, told them to stay before taking a flight to Dubai, while two others were intercepted at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, GMA News reported.
The workers, who were from Iloilo, Zamboanga del North, Isabela and Davao, said Alcala promised them jobs in Dubai without having to pay any fees and that they would be given a work visa two weeks after they arrived.
The recruiter offered to process the workers’ travel documents, such as their birth certificates, police clearance, and tourist visas. The workers said Alcala paid for the processing of their documents.
But the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said travel documents given to the workers turned out to be fake.
However, affidavits of support and guarantee had official signatures, ribbons and receipts from the Philippine Embassy in Abu Dhabi – but did not have the workers’ names or details.
Bernard dela Cruz, a member of the NBI International Airport Investigation Unit, said one of the workers claimed that some employees from the Bureau of Immigration were involved in the illegal recruitment.

Wag kyo naniniwala sa mga mbubulaklak ang dila n recruiter sa pinas..oo wala kyo ggastusin..sa umpisa..mkkrating nga kyo ng dubai kc mgbbribe cla sa immigration..pgdating nyo dto dubai..kayo ang kawawa..maawa kyo sa sarili nyo at sa pamilya nyo..wag kyong sumugal
Ang tourist visa ko pumunta dto sa uae ay fake may kasangkot na binabayaran ang mga agent na nag trAtrabaho sa immigration para mka labas ang mga aplekante tulad ko sa clark pampanga ako pinalabas kasi doon ang contact ng agent ko
totoo yan isa ako sa napadala dto sa uae naniwala sa magandang salita ng agent yun pala ibenenta lang ako doon sa agency
Kudos to the NBI who was found out about this matters , keep it guys for job you’ve done!God bless you all ????????
If member’s of the NPI or NBI were to apply to these kind of agencies and went to Dubai as OFW’s,they could collect the most evidence in both countries.Just my thought’s. Either way,good job people’s.

Sana makarating ky Pangulong Digong na may mga sangkot na tauhan ng Bureau of Immigration sa mga ganitong illegal na gawain. Aywan kong bakit d makontento sa mga sahod na ipinagkakaloob sa kanila. Dapat patalsikin Ang mga yan sa kasalukuyan pinapasukan tulad noong 2 na OTS na ngbukas ng bag.
