By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Sultanate continues to be - for some Filipino jobseekers - the promise land of gold, after one illegal recruiter was arrested by police in Zamboanga after she was allegedly found to have taken hefty processing fees from six victims with promised jobs of salesladies in Brunei Darussalam - but left them stranded in Zamboanga instead.

The victims arrived in Zamboanga, southern Philippines, from Isabella and Manila, supposedly to continue their journey onward to Brunei. However, they were left stranded by the recruiter, MindaNews reported.

The police arrested the alleged illegal recruiter last Wednesday after complaints were brought against her by two of her victims from General Santos City, Mindanao.

The two told the police that they were recruited last February in General Santos City and were abandoned by the suspect upon arrival in Zamboanga. The victims said the suspect "recruited" them to work as salesladies in Brunei and asked the victims to pay a fee of P20,000 (B$625) each.
