Practice question
An agency licensed at Address A leases Address B and opens a second recruitment office there without prior DOLE approval. It displays a copy of the original license and says that its license permits recruitment anywhere because the holder has not changed. Which conclusion is best?
- The agency is correct because the same entity operates both offices
- The additional office is automatically approved by the lease
- The arrangement conflicts with Article 29’s location restriction and prior-approval requirement for additional offices
- The copy becomes a separate license once displayed publicly
- The arrangement is lawful whenever both addresses are in one province
