00:00A language training facility in Silang, Cavite was set up
00:05where illegal immigrants recruit workers to be sent abroad.
00:10In addition to being unlicensed,
00:12100,000 Pesos were also taken away by the immigrants.
00:17J.P. Soriano was the target.
00:23It's located in a resort in Silang, Cavite
00:25but it's not an accommodation or a resto.
00:27It's a language training and tutorial facility.
00:30But more than that,
00:32Volunt Academy for Language Excellency Inc. is asking for
00:37up to 500,000 Pesos
00:39per student in exchange for a job in Germany.
00:43It's illegal because it doesn't have a license
00:46to recruit and deploy workers abroad.
00:49It's actually a front for a recruitment scheme
00:52going to Germany.
00:54It's sending workers, apprentices, to Germany
00:58without the necessary permits.
01:00That's why the facility was closed
01:02and a closure order was issued
01:05from the government and the municipality of Silang.
01:08Aside from the successful operation,
01:1070 individuals were also sent to the resort
01:14who stayed in cottages
01:16and paid for the language training facility.
01:18We will explain what happened to them.
01:21We will help them file a complaint.
01:23According to the people of the municipality,
01:25the owner of the resort doesn't know
01:27that the facility is being used
01:29for this type of business.
01:31The operation was closed
01:33because of the tip of several government agencies
01:35who are recommending the facility
01:37for its enrolling
01:39to partners in Germany
01:41or to every licensed
01:43recruitment agency in the Philippines.
01:45We will also discuss
01:47what these recruitment agencies are
01:49and we will call them for possible filing of cases.
01:52The Volunt Academy refused
01:54to give a statement.
01:56I don't want to.
01:58I don't want to.
02:00Sorry. Sorry.
02:01And to make sure that no students
02:03who enrolled in this language training facility
02:05will be able to leave,
02:07the DMW contacted
02:09the German Embassy in the Philippines
02:11and the Bureau of Immigration.
02:13In the face of large-scale complaints
02:15and syndicated illegal recruitment,
02:17the closed language training facility
02:19for the GMA Integrated News,
02:21JP Soriano,
02:23was closed for 24 hours.
