DMW partners with TikTok vs illegal recruitment Mayen Jaymalin
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) has partnered with TikTok to intensify its campaign against human trafficking and illegal recruitment.
TikTok will serve as a platform to monitor and identify individuals involved in illegal recruitment, providing leads for law enforcement to pursue cases.
Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Cacdac stated that the fight against trafficking has shifted to the digital space, where false promises are spread and vulnerable Filipinos are often targeted.
Under the agreement, TikTok will launch a campaign to raise awareness about the menace of illegal recruitment and educate Filipino workers on the risks.
The DMW recorded around 300 cases of illegal recruitment in the first six months of the year, a significant increase from 71 cases in 2024.
The DMW also closed 18 establishments involved in illegal recruitment and took down over 60,000 posts offering fake jobs.
