QUEZON CITY (PIA) — Philippine National Police (PNP) chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. vows to further intensify police operations against illegal recruitment in the country following the recent arrests of four suspects and the shutdown of two unlicensed agencies in Quezon City and Cavite.
“These arrests and closures send a strong message: the PNP will not tolerate any illegal recruitment that exploits our kababayan, especially our overseas Filipino workers,” said Nartatez.
Nartatez said that the PNP aims to protect the public from fraud and abuse and vowed to intensify the fight against illegal activities and unscrupulous recruiters.
According to the PNP, the operation conducted on Jan. 26 and 30 is part of the PNP’s Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO) under the PNP Focused Agenda, which prioritizes safeguarding Filipinos from all forms of criminality, including online scams and human trafficking.
The PNP chief also noted that they remain committed to working hand in hand with the Department of Migrant Workers to dismantle fraudulent recruitment operations nationwide.
“Through EMPO, we ensure that every operation is carefully planned, focused, and achieves real results for the protection of every Filipino.”
Nartatez also underscored the successful operations, highlighting the PNP’s unwavering resolve to dismantle illegal recruitment networks, safeguard the rights of Filipino workers, and ensure that victims of fraudulent schemes receive justice. (JEG/PIA-NCR)
