POEA Closes Two Recruitment Agencies

The Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) issued the closure order against Northwest Placement Inc. in Manila when it discovered that the agency still recruits housekeepers for the United States of America even after its license was cancelled on April 25, 2012 for charging excessive fees from applicants.

Under POEA rules and regulations, an order of cancellation is immediately executory.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
The POEA also padlocked the offices of Reajent Manpower Services Inc in Quezon City, which continued to accept applications for the position of fruit pickers for Australia that was found out to be non-existent.  Reajent was under preventive suspension since February 28, 2012.
