NBI-7 Regional Director Renan Oliva told reporters in a press conference on Wednesday, May 15, that the perpetrators were arrested in an entrapment operation on Sunday, May 12, during a “recruitment activity” held at a beach resort in Barangay Pooc, Talisay City. Based on the victims’ testimonies and a surveillance operation conducted on April 20, the investigation bureau discovered that the group led by Rondez collected fees from victims during seminars, promising employment as coconut and mango plantation workers in Australia.
NBI-7 Special Investigator Florante Gaoiran said that, during the recruitment process, victims would pay P1,500 for the seminar, P500 for t-shirts, P100 for an entrance fee, and P500 for a vlogging fee. According to Oliva, the arrested individuals went through inquest proceedings at the Talisay City Prosecutor’s Office on Tuesday, May 14. They will be facing charges of large-scale and syndicated illegal recruitment.Leonardo Sedurifa, 58, and Perly Tumbiga, 45, were led to believe that they were going to get a job that paid around P2,000 per hour in Australia. After attending multiple seminars with the recruiters, it never happened.
Tumbiga, who used to be an overseas worker in Qatar, told reporters that she realized it was a scam when the recruiters informed them that 3,000 applicants would be able to go to Australia some time in May or June.Tumbiga said. Based on a certification from the Department of Migrant Workers, the arrested individuals are not authorized to recruit individuals for employment abroad.
