00:02 Christmas party was planned today by the Technical Vocational Institution in Biakna Bato in Quezon City.
00:07 But instead of celebrating, the recruits were sent home to Alsa Balutan after being raided by the Department of Migrant Workers.
00:14 This was followed by the complaint of two trainees from the DMW,
00:17 who were paid for a few months to be recruited to be caretakers in Taiwan.
00:21 But...
00:22 It's taking too long. It seems like it won't materialize.
00:26 In the surveillance conducted by the DMW, apart from training,
00:30 the match train offers work to their trainees in Taiwan for the amount of 40,000 to 45,000 pesos.
00:37 He's not licensed, he doesn't have an accredited employer, he doesn't have a registered job order,
00:43 and he doesn't pass the worker to the DMW.
00:47 The match train is a registered training institute, but not a recruitment agency.
00:52 Based on the skills of a part of the private house that was converted into a training facility,
00:58 it seems like there are recruits abroad.
01:00 Even if they were able to continue, as long as they recruited without a license, it's still illegal recruitment.
01:05 And in this case, to top it all off, they were paid 80,000 pesos.
01:10 The DMW immediately closed the training facility.
01:13 The employees and officials are also the ones who are being charged with illegal recruitment.
01:17 The trainees are even asking for a complaint if they were ever hired.
01:22 But some of the people who talked to GMI Integrated News refused to speak.
01:27 How long have you been training here?
01:30 No comment sir.
01:32 They said that if you're a trainee, you can be a witness.
01:38 Are you willing to be a witness?
01:40 No comment sir.
01:42 We are still trying to get the match train license.
01:45 But their license officer refused to speak.
