00:00The Bureau of Immigration has tightened its investigation on the Filipinos who went through immigration in Naia.

00:05Recently, two women went to Thailand because of their sluggish movements.

00:10Here's the first news, Jonathan Andal.

00:13A co-worker from a call center company introduced himself and took a vacation leave to visit Thailand.

00:22But when he asked, the answer of the two women who faced the immigration officer in Naia did not match.

00:29When they asked about the basic details about each other and their trip, their answers were a bit different.

00:37The truth is that their vacation in Thailand was not really a vacation, but a connecting flight to Laos.

00:45They were only accompanied by a recruiter and were given a pecking document.

00:49They were promised a salary of Php 50,000 per month as a customer service representative.

00:55The fixer they met online was paid Php 3,000 to make the documents.

01:01The two women turned over to the Interagency Council Against Trafficking.

01:05Immigration said that it is possible that the two women will become scammers in Laos,

01:10just like what happened to the other Filipinos who were rescued there.

01:13They target call center agents or those who have experience in call centers because that's their job there.

01:22Seemingly like a BPO, but it's actually a scam hub, scam operations.

01:29If they do not achieve the quota, they are physically tortured, they are not fed, and they are not paid properly.

01:37This August, more than 70 Filipinos were arrested in almost 800 cyber scam networks on the border of Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar.

01:48This is different from the case of other Filipinos who were rescued from illegal recruitment in 2024,

01:53just like the two Filipinos who were arrested in March.

01:56For example, Telco employees who are going on vacation in Thailand, but the truth is that when they arrive in Bangkok, they will be taken to Laos.

02:03There, they were also promised a job as a call center agent in a company that is involved in a crypto investment scam.

02:10A salary of more than Php 50,000 per month if it is regular.

02:14The salary of a Filipino who was recruited to be a customer service representative but made an online love scammer in Laos is almost the same.

02:23But in the end, he did not receive a salary. He was repatriated in May 2024.

02:28Immigration reminds those who want to work abroad to go through the process with the Department of Migrant Workers and do not just believe the scams on social media.

02:37It really looks like a big syndicate is holding this.

02:40Here is the first news. Jonathan Andal for GMA Integrated News.
