POEA Loses Power, OFW Agency License Approval Goes To Labor Secretary

Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III has assumed full authority in the licensing of overseas placement agencies, a function previously delegated to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA). In Administrative Order No. 241 series of 2017, Bello recalled a 1998 DOLE directive that authorized the POEA Administrator to act on matters governing overseas employment. Following the latest order, the confirmation of the issuance and renewal of licenses of recruitment agencies and other matters governing overseas employment will have to pass to the labor secretary for approval. This means that the DOLE Secretary will have the authority to approve or deny the following processes: all processed applications on the issuance and renewal of licenses authorities to engage in the recruitment and placement of workers for overseas employment the grant of exemption from the ban on direct hiring the grant exemptions from the age requirements for overseas workers Administrative Order No. 241 series of 2017 recalls Administrative Order No.144 Series of 1998. While the DOLE Secretary is essentially taking in the reins of Filipino overseas employment, all applications relative to the items mentioned above remain to be filed with and processed by the POEA in accordance with existing rules and procedures. The said administrative order was issued to ensure that only the operation of legitimate and responsible recruitment agencies are allowed to safeguard the welfare and security of OFWs and their families and to develop and effectively implement programs on the deployment of migrant workers. We can remember a few months ago that DOLE has discovered a money-making scheme within POEA. Some employees were taking advantage of the grant of exemption in relation to the ban of direct-hiring, taking in bribes as payment for providing the exemption bypassing the established procedure. Secretary Bello has since suspended direct-hiring pending investigation. After a few weeks, he has reinstated direct-hiring, but he has also promised massive reshuffling in the agency. Now, we can say that the secretary is taking full control of the situation.

LABATT SUED BY THE EMPLOYER OVER RECRUITMENT AGENCY’S SUSPENSION

LABATT SUED BY THE EMPLOYER OVER RECRUITMENT AGENCY’S SUSPENSION


An angry employer in Hong Kong wants her money back from Emry's recruitment agency after the said agency failed to complete the processing of her household service worker's employment papers.The employer sued the agency owners as well as Labor Attache Jalilo de la Torre,who suspended the agency's accreditation.


Labatt de la Torre himself disclosed this to The SUN, saying the date of the hearing has been set down sometime next month.

As a Philippine government official, de la Torre can invoke diplomatic immunity in a claim arising from his performance of an official duty, but he said he is still conferring with Consul General Bernardita Catalla on how best to respond to the claim.

De la Torre said he was aware that Emry’s former registered owner Ester Ylagan had sent letters to the agency’s employer-clients, blaming him for her company’s inability to complete the processing of the work contracts.

De la Torre suspended Emry’s accreditation with the Philippine Overseas Labor Office on June 20, after receiving complaints from a number of Filipino migrant workers who had been recruited by Ylagan for jobs in Britain and Canada.
He summoned Ylagan to his office to explain the third-country deployment, saying it was against the rules of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, which regulates the recruitment industry.
Ylagan responded by asking for the exact law that she supposedly violated.

Not being satisfied with her response, and hearing of more complaints from Filipinos about Ylagan’s third-country recruitment, De la Torre again summoned the agency owner to his office on July 1.

When Ylagan failed to appear, the labor attaché recommended to POEA that Emry’s accreditation be cancelled.

Emry’s eventually closed both its offices in Central and Wanchai, leaving hundreds of employers in the dark about what to do with contracts they had already entrusted to the agency for processing.

Another Hong Kong-registered employment agency operated by Ylagan, Mike’s Secretarial Services, closed down at about the same time.

Sometime after this, or on July 17, Ylagan applied to have her son, Ridge Michael, replace her as co-owner of Emry’s. The other co-owner is her husband, Rick Ylagan.
