Senator Christopher “Bong” Go has demanded justice for the alleged illegal recruitment and human trafficking that has affected numerous Overseas Filipino Worker applicants in Italy.
“Kailangan nating siguraduhin na ang bawat Pilipino, nasaan man sa mundo, ay protektado at hindi biktima ng panloloko. Hindi natin papayagan ang ganitong klaseng krimen lalo na kung ang OFWs na tinuturing pang bagong bayani ang bibiktimahin,” said Go. “Magtutulungan tayo para mas mapalakas pa ang ating mga batas laban sa illegal recruitment at human trafficking. Dapat walang makalusot, at kailangang mabigyan ng hustisya ang ating mga kababayan,” he urged.
The government has already promised legal aid to the Filipinos scammed in Italy, while Italian lawyers are set to assist the victims in filing a class suit against the accused firms. The DMW is also collaborating with the DOJ to document and investigate the complaints. Go has been a staunch supporter of the welfare of OFWs and was one of the authors and co-sponsors of Republic Act 11641, which led to the establishment of the DMW.
