46 Filipinos repatriated from Cambodia this week, DFA warns of online job scams
On Sunday, April 20, ten more Filipinos were safely repatriated from Cambodia, bringing the total number of repatriates this week to 46.
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) facilitated their return in collaboration with Cambodian law enforcement and the Philippine Embassy in Phnom Penh.
Upon arrival at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1, representatives from government agencies such as the DFA, DMW, OWWA, and IACAT received the group and provided assistance.
The victims were rescued from Oddar Meanchey province on Saturday and made the nine-hour trip to Phnom Penh, where the Philippine Embassy covered the cost of repatriation using its Assistance to Nationals Fund and provided meals and care packages upon their return.
Last week, 26 Filipinos were also repatriated from Oddar Meanchey Province, Cambodia, with similar support and assistance.
The DFA reiterates warnings against dubious job offers on social media that could lead to harmful outcomes, urging prudence and discernment among Filipino online job seekers.
