Text size
The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) arrested Metro Manila's 9th most wanted person in Victoria, Tarlac, on 7 May.
The 64-year-old female suspect faces a barrage of charges, including large-scale illegal recruitment and estafa.
The suspect was wanted under multiple warrants issued by courts in Pasig City and Nueva Vizcaya for large-scale and syndicated illegal recruitment (Migrant Workers Act); multiple counts of estafa; and cyber-estafa (Cybercrime Prevention Act).
Several of these charges are non-bailable, highlighting the severity of the alleged fraudulent schemes that targeted aspiring overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
NCRPO Regional Director P/Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin emphasized that this operation is a victory for exploited jobseekers.
“We remain relentless in tracking down those who use deception and online scams to prey on our citizens. This arrest is a testament to our strengthened intelligence coordination,” Aberin said.
