TACURONG CITY, May 11 (PNA) -- The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Central Mindanao Friday busted an illegal recruitment syndicate that prey on young girls in Koronadal City and nearby municipalities. | |||
NBI-12 agent Timotheo Rijano identified the suspected illegal recruiter as Mary Linao, 38 years old and resident of Tacurong City. | |||
Agents processing the release of NBI clearance became suspicious of Linao, who facilitated the acquisition of NBI clearance for 16 minor women she recruited from Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao. | |||
Rijano told reporters that entries to the birth certificates of 16 minors have errors and deficiencies that led them to believed they were fake. | |||
Linao admitted that indeed the certificates were manufactured. | |||
An applicant for NBI clearance needs to submit copies of his or her birth certificate from the National Statistics Office and in security paper (secpa) form. | |||
The agent said the birth certificates of 16 applicants were not certified by the NSO, thus, making them fake and manufactured. | |||
Linao later admitted that the girls will be deployed to the Middle East, particularly in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and nearby countries through a recruitment agency based in Manila. | |||
She could not say whether her agency in Manila was legitimate or not since she was only dealing with another woman working in the said agency. | |||
The "rescued" minors are now under the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development and DSWD-12 is now coordinating with the DSWD in Maguindanao for the turn-over of the illegal recruitment victims aged 16 to 17 years old. | |||
Linao has been turned over to the local police for filing of appropriate charges. | |||
NBI-12 has issued advisories to parents in far flung areas to be extra careful with recruiters who promised decent job opportunities overseas to avoid having their children landing as slaves in foreign lands. | |||
Parents were advised to check with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) the legitimacy of any recruitment agencies that hire minors for domestic works overseas. | |||

The POEA chief encourages other Filipinos to report and file appropriate cases against individuals and recruitment agencies that are offering job opportunities in countries where a deployment ban is currently ongoing. The deployment ban to Syria was imposed on April 2011 because of continuous political conflicts and civil unrest. | The POEA chief encourages other Filipinos to report and file appropriate cases against individuals and recruitment agencies that are offering job opportunities in countries where a deployment ban is currently ongoing.
