On the same day, Jalilo dela Torre, head of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Hong Kong, posted a notice on warning Filipinos of a new human trafficking recruitment drive, with workers being lured to Turkey.
Dela Torre warned his compatriots signing up would do his compatriots more harm than good.
Last November, the Hong Kong police raided three employment agencies in Tsim Sha Tsui, Wan Chai and Kennedy Town for trafficking Filipino domestic workers to Russia and Turkey.
