On Sunday, June 2, the heads of two big employment agency groups in Hong Kong and in the Philippines signed a Code of Conduct at POLO HK which should govern their recruitment practices for the hiring of Filipino domestic workers in Hong Kong. I would like to obtain a copy of this agreement and further, ask if there was any requirement that POLO HK informs DOLE about executing an agreement that doesn't require payment.
