MANILA<\/strong> \u2014 The Philippine Embassy in Moscow on Friday noted progress in cases filed against illegal recruiters in Russia where overseas Filipino workers (OFW) had been “hired” despite the country\u2019s \u201cno work visa\u201d policy for foreigners.<\/p>\n

Citing statistics, the embassy said at least 5,000 Filipinos in Russia are left without legal status, since it has no work visa category for foreigners engaged in domestic work, except for citizens of former Soviet countries.<\/p>\n

It said majority of OFWs recruited to work in Russia came from Hong Kong and other third countries, enabling them to bypass Philippine regulations.<\/p>\n

“The continuing entry of Filipino HSWs (household service workers), many of whom have commercial (business) visas that do not allow them to work in any way, makes the situation more difficult,” it said.<\/p>\n

In a website post of the Department of Foreign Affairs, the embassy noted that none of the so-called \u201cagencies\u201d are accredited by the Philippine or Russian governments to perform such functions, nor do they provide guarantees regarding the safety and welfare of OFWs.<\/p>\n

As a result, Filipinos in the country are highly vulnerable to arrest, detention and deportation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay mga kaso na rin po na umusad at may mga lumabas na po na<\/em>\u00a0warrant of arrest\u00a0dahil sa patuloy na pakikipagtulungan ng ating<\/em>\u00a0Filipino community (A number of cases are progressing and warrants of arrest have been issued due to the continued cooperation of the Filipino community),” he reported.<\/p>\n

In a recently concluded \u201cKapihan sa Pasuguan\u201d in Moscow, the embassy and the Filipino community in Russia discussed current developments in the bilateral relations between Manila and Moscow, and the situation of OFWs, including the need to stop the illegal recruitment of Filipino HSWs to Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cKailangan po nating pigilan ang patuloy na<\/em>\u00a0illegal recruitment\u00a0ng mga Pilipino papuntang<\/em>\u00a0Russia\u00a0para po mabigyan ng daan ang usapan para maging legal ang mga<\/em>\u00a0OFW\u00a0dito<\/em>\u00a0(The illegal recruitment of Filipinos to Russia has to stop to make way for talks to legalize the stay of OFWs here),\u201d Ambassador Carlos Sorreta said.<\/p>\n

The event was streamed live over Facebook and received more than 4,500 views from all over the world, including different parts of Russia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, and countries where OFWs are illegally recruited.<\/p>\n
