The Philippine Consulate in Macau
continues to repatriate victims of illegal recruitment after a spate of such scams by a Philippine group
with ties to Macau.
However, according to local NGOs, some
victimshave willingly overstayed,
looking for jobs. Tickets provided by the consulate have remained unused.
In the meantime, a legal desk has been
set up in the consulate for general legal matters.
