    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES vs

    DOLORES OCDEN
    GR No. 173198

    FACTS

    Ocden was charged with seven (7) cases of illegal recruitment including large-scale
    illegal recruitment committed against complainants.

    Ocden gave the impression that he could send complainants abroad by informing
    them about the job opportunity and list of necessary requirements; by requiring
    applicants to attend seminar in his house; by receiving job applications and personally
    accompanying complainants for their medical exams; by receiving money paid as
    placement fees; and assuring applicants that they would be deployed to Italy.

    After spending huge amount of money for placement fee and other fees,
    complainants found that Ocden has no license to recruit.

    Ocden denies the charges and claims that complainants failed to present a
    certification that Ocden is a non-licensee or non-holder of authority to lawfully engage
    in the recruitment and placement of workers.

    ISSUE

    Whether or not accused is guilty of illegal recruitment in large scale

    RULING

    Yes.

    Illegal recruitment may be committed by any person, whether a non-licensee, non-


    holder, licensee, or holder of authority.

    It shall likewise include the following acts, whether committed by any person, whether a
    non-licensee, non-holder, licensee or holder of authority.

    Failure to reimburse expenses incurred by the worker in connection with his


    documentation and processing for purposes of deployment, in cases where the
    deployment does not actually take place without the worker's fault. Illegal recruitment
    when committed by a syndicate or in large scale shall be considered an offense
    involving economic sabotage.

    Illegal recruitment is deemed committed by a syndicate if carried out by a group of


    three (3) or more persons conspiring or confederating with one another. It is deemed
    committed in large scale if committed against three (3) or more persons individually or
    as a group.
    It is well-settled that to prove illegal recruitment, it must be shown that appellant gave
    complainants the distinct impression that he had the power or ability to send
    complainants abroad for work such that the latter were convinced to part with their
    money in order to be employed.

    In this case, Ocden gave such impression. It is not necessary for the prosecution to
    present a certification that Ocden is a non-licensee or non-holder of authority to
    lawfully engage in the recruitment and placement of workers.
