26 Filipinos repatriated from Cambodia amid job scam alert

Twenty-six Filipinos have been repatriated from Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey Province on April 16, 2025.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has urged the public to be cautious about dubious overseas job offers, particularly for customer service representative roles in Cambodia.

The repatriated Filipinos had reportedly requested assistance from the Philippine Embassy in Cambodia for their return.

The Philippine Embassy facilitated their release from a company in Samraong Municipality after making official representations with the Cambodian government.

The DFA expressed gratitude to the Royal Government of Cambodia for its cooperation in the repatriation process.

This successful collaboration underscores the strong bilateral relations and willingness of both governments to address shared concerns.

Upon arrival, the repatriates were met by representatives from the DFA, Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), Overseas Workers Welfare Administrator (OWWA), and the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) who provided necessary assistance.
