DMW Public Advisory: Beware of Third-Country or Cross-Country Employment Offers
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) strongly advises the public to disregard any employment offers that involve deployment to third countries or cross-country arrangements. These offers often bypass proper legal channels and expose migrant workers to significant risks, including exploitation and human trafficking.
We have received reports of unauthorized recruitment activities that promise lucrative job opportunities in third countries after initial deployment elsewhere. Please be aware that these practices are illegal and do not guarantee the protection and rights of Filipino migrant workers.
The DMW emphasizes that all employment offers should be thoroughly vetted and processed through accredited agencies and legal channels. Any offers or arrangements that fall outside these protocols are considered unauthorized and potentially dangerous.
For your safety and security, we urge you to ignore any third-country or cross-country employment offers and to report such incidents immediately to the DMW through page or to the nearest Migrant Workers Office (MWO). Always verify the legitimacy of any job offers you receive and rely only on official sources for accurate information. Protect yourself from illegal recruitment and human trafficking.
Maging matalino, huwag magpaloko!
