Practice question
An overseas recruitment agency tells an undocumented Filipino worker that DMW has no authority to assist unless the worker first proves regular immigration status. It also claims that only the former standalone POEA can regulate the agency’s overseas recruitment. Which response is correct?
- Both claims are correct
- Only the immigration-status claim is correct
- Only the standalone-POEA claim is correct
- Both claims are incorrect: DMW’s protection is regardless of status and it absorbed POEA’s functions
- Both claims become correct if the worker used a private recruiter
