POLO-HK Labatt Melchor B. Dizon had at least one meeting with agencies since his deployment to Hong Kong. Labatt Dizon did not give any opportunity for OFW input into the operations and POLO-HK and appears to be only interested in executing the wishes of employment agencies. This meeting has been documented in numerous pictures such as: https://www.facebook.com/ownershi/photos/rpp.353229111701565/1048357538855382/ I would like to obtain a copy of the slideshow titled "Discussions on the Verification of Documents and Accreditation of FRA/Employer"
