Our take on the rumored ban of Pinoys in Taiwan

The two conflicting news elicits disconcerting feeling about what the agency in the Philippines are up to. The CLA got nothing to lose should they not bother denying, and CLA's question is only about the legitimacy of documentations of Fil workers which does not take much to comply to.

If the news is a reaction from CLA's recent move to impose tighter control on visa approvals, it sounds like an over-reaction. Is this not a prelude to another ploy to squeeze more from our brothers and sisters coming to Taiwan? Something like: spread the news that Filipinoes are banned for Taiwan, let all the corners of the Phils know, then comes this ill-informed applicant, and an agency could promptly ask a higher fee like "You know, Filipinoes are banned in Taiwan. But we have a way to deploy you to a job, though it won't be easy. If you are really interested, we could help you but you'd have to pay bigger placement fee". **cough** Hope not. Hope we're just thinking too much.

To be fair, the placement agencies has done good job deploying Pinoys to work overseas. But the crooks still abound. 'Di lahat malinis, and chances somebody somewhere out there in the corners of the Philippines will get cheated "tanghaling tapat".

Godspeed, Pinoy!
