Good morning, I am Seleena Lim and I am currently researching global manpower agencies and the OFW market on behalf of a large research firm in the Philippines. I was doing desktop research on recruitment agencies and saw this post from Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StopBadAgencies/posts/1886630378175159 and would like to ask if this page is credible? And if so, may I also request for a copy of the complete list flagged by POEA due to overcharged fees since the post did not state its source. Thank you very much. Regards, Seleena
