Seven Philippine LGUs are implicated in illegal recruitment schemes for seasonal workers in South Korea, leading to a suspension of worker deployment. Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac withheld the names of the LGUs but confirmed strict measures to protect seasonal workers. DMW Undersecretary Bernard Olalia reported 37 cases filed due to complaints from 118 victims, with some cases ongoing. This crackdown emphasizes the government’s commitment to worker safety and regulatory compliance amid growing complaints. One case in Tarlac was dismissed following an out-of-court settlement.
