PASAY CITY, Apr. 24 -- Bureau of Immigration (BI) officials at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on Tuesday intercepted two Filipinas illegally recruited to work in Qatar. In a report to BI Commissioner Jaime Morente, Travel Control and Enforcement Unit Chief Ma. Timotea Barizo said that the passengers, whose names were withheld for their protection, were intercepted at the departure area of NAIA Terminal 3 when they attempted to board a flight via Qatar Airways. Barizo shared that primary inspection officers thoroughly examine the documents of all Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) before they are cleared for departure. “The quick eye of our immigration officers in the frontlines saw that there was reason to suspect the duo, upon noticing that their Overseas Employment Certificates (OECs) are not encoded in our linked database with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA),” Barizo further added.
