Bill imposes harsher penalties against illegal foreign workers - Business Mirror

Quick Summary:

A LEGISLATOR has reiterated his call for Congress to approve House Bill 1279, which imposes harsher penalties—including up to six years of imprisonment—on illegal foreign workers to deter their involvement in unlawful activities and protect jobs for Filipinos.

The BI has already reminded foreign workers hired by Pogos to leave the country by the end of the year.

But if they are involved in any unlawful activity, such as illegal mining and rogue POGO operations, they should be made to face the consequences of their actions before they are deported,” he added.
