00:14 68 victims were affected by a recruitment scam in Italy.
00:20 They were deceived because the Philippine community there
00:25 was quick to proceed with the process of applying to a Philippine-operated manning agency.
00:31 In exchange for the payment of three gives, which is the total...
00:36 We will pay for three installments.
00:40 One thousand, one thousand, one thousand.
00:42 So, three thousand euros.
00:44 How much is the total?
00:46 One eighty thousand.
00:48 They found out quickly.
00:50 Others, in three days, already have it.
00:52 I trusted them and we submitted our application.
00:56 Their work permit was sent via email or social media.
01:01 But when they sent it to the Italian embassy here in the Philippines
01:05 to get a work visa, their application was denied.
01:10 What's written there is false.
01:12 Their nulla osta.
01:14 It's not true.
01:16 The complainants will reach 400. The Justice Department is getting a list
01:23 to investigate the NBI.
01:26 Some of them are selling their land.
01:29 They are selling cars that are in debt to the poor.
01:35 We will help them.
01:37 Our draft complaints, our complaint of the debtors.
01:39 If it's swindling, estafa, large-scale estafa, qualified theft, or whatever cases they are,
01:47 we will help them draw out the truth.
01:52 A resolution has been issued to the Senate to investigate it.
01:56 In a statement, Alpha Assistance, SRL, denies the complaints of illegal activities against them.
02:04 They got a third-party liaison to help submit the documents of applicants in the Philippines.
02:11 But they found out that their process is more than authorized applicants and they even collected money.
02:18 They are now helping in the investigation on this matter.
02:21 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sanyma Rafran, your witness.
