00:05Japanese Learning Center Corporation, due to the illegal offering of overseas employment in Japan.

00:11The learning center is operating with its head office in Panabo City, Davao del Norte,

00:17and its four branches located in Manila City, Rosario, Cavite,

00:20and the cities of Davao and General Santos. Bien Manalo tells us more.

00:25The Department of Migrant Workers closed the Hikari Japanese Learning Center Corporation

00:32in Malate, Manila. They allegedly offering illegal language training and job opportunities in Japan.

00:38DMW also closed the three branches of the said learning center in Mindanao and one

00:43in Calabarzon. Such action by the agency is in accordance with the directive of President

00:48Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to protect the welfare of the overseas Filipino workers.

00:53We conducted surveillance and we were confirmed. It was confirmed by our operatives

01:00that they are in violation. So lima po sila, sabay-sabay po nating pidasalat.

01:06In the investigation, the learning center's modus was to encourage applicants to enroll first

01:12in their four-month language training in lieu of 40,000 pesos as training fees.

01:16Contrary to the proper process of the DMW, the selection process or the selection of the employer

01:22should first be performed on the applicants before they undergo any trainings. Some of the

01:27jobs offered are related to hotel and restaurant service, food processing, farming, food and

01:32beverage manufacturing and caregiving. At sasabihin nila na mag-aral kayo dito,

01:37magbayad kayo, kayo ay magte-training, at kapag kayo ay nakapagtapos ng training,

01:42ire-refer namin kayo sa isang agency na siyang magde-deploy sa inyo. Bawal po yun. Kasi yung

01:48training center are not supposed to hire and deploy atsaka to enter into a tie-up relationship

01:56more so to engage into any form of recruitment. According to the victims, it seems they were

02:02left hanging by the illegal learning center. The DMW advises those who want to work abroad

02:25to go to licensed recruitment agencies to avoid being a victim.

02:47Victims are encouraged to contact the Migrant Workers Protection Bureau to formally file a

02:51case against the Learning Center. BN Manalo, from the National TV Network,
