Crackdown on Fake Overseas Employment Certificates
The Bureau of Immigration warns against the spread of fake overseas employment certificates sold on social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok. These essential documents for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are issued exclusively by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), under the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). Illegal recruiters and human traffickers exploit Filipinos using fraudulent means, leading to severe consequences under human trafficking laws. Learn about the measures taken to curb this serious issue and the importance of acquiring legitimate documents through the DMW.
