Bad company

To those people who are looking for work abroad please be careful not to be swindled by illegal recruiter. Sad thing is even those recruitment agencies who are under the list of the licensed agencies from POEA are still taking advantage of those people who are desperate to work abroad.

One example of a lousy company is the ARIX WORLD MANPOWER CORPORATION.

My husband applied as a “Barista” for Old Towm Kopitiam in Malaysia last year. We paid the agency Php 52,000.00. It was supposed to be a 2 year contract but he did not continue it, and he went back after 3 months.

They have violated a lot of rules when it comes to hiring OFWs. We have already filed a complaint against them to the National Labor Relations Commission.

  2. i agree po. di man makamit ang justice eh for sure naman na pagbabayaran nya rin yun in the end. kaya nga sinumbong na lang namin sila kay Lord.

  3. wow, that was a lot of money you paid. like you said, some agencies take advantage of people who want to work abroad.

    We are based in KL, Malaysia right now so I know Old Town Kopitiam. Which branch your husband was assigned before?
