According to the Manila Standard Today, the Department of Labor and Employment yesterday warned Filipinos not to be lured into paying processing fees on nonexistent jobs in Brunei. Foreign workers who wish to extend their work permits have been advised to apply for extension directly with the Brunei Immigration Department. Filipino workers should check first with the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration for any job opening in Brunei. Filipino workers in Brunei are advised to get in touch with the Philippine Overseas Labor Office for assistance in connection with their stay in Brunei. The advisory was issued in the wake of reports indicating that shady agents producing fake work permits operate in Brunei.
