PNoy orders DOJ to speed up
case vs. Veloso's recruiters
President Benigno Aquino III has ordered Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to fast-track the legal process that may prove overseas worker Mary Jane Veloso innocent of drug trafficking and bring her recruiters to the bar of justice.
“I will be tasking the SOJ (Secretary of Justice) in particular to expedite the whole process of really ferreting out all of the facts so that we can bring to the bars of justice all concerned and, perhaps, facilitate the capture of others, especially on the drug front who brought her to this predicament,” he said at a press conference at the Negros First CyberCentre in Bacolod City.

Workers urged to verify The Visayan Forum Foundation Inc. in Negros Oriental has warned Filipinos seeking employment abroad to verify with government authorities the legitimacy of their recruitment agencies to avoid falling prey to human traffickers and other illegal activities. Potential overseas workers must also be cautious in dealing with recruiters or recruitment agencies who offer attractive packages but whose hiring procedures do not match that of the government, Romualdo Señeris II of VF-Negros Oriental, said Thursday. This also applies to domestic workers, he said, adding that many fall prey to illegal recruiters because they are not well informed on the tactics employed by these notorious individuals. |
