Two Filipinas from South Korea’s Domestic Worker Program Forced to Return Home After Finding Job Illegally
I have to wonder what job these two Filipinas were illegally working at in Busan?:
Two Filipinas, who were apprehended after leaving the Seoul metropolitan government’s pilot program for foreign domestic helpers without permission, have returned home, the South Korean justice ministry said Monday.
The workers were forced to leave Thursday following several weeks of unauthorized absence from their jobs, according to the ministry.
They reportedly did not contest the immigration authority’s notification of deportation and expressed a desire to return home during the investigation.
After their departure, the workers were banned from reentering South Korea for a specified period.
They arrived in South Korea on Aug. 6 as part of a six-month project led by the Seoul city government to assign foreign nannies to households with kids or newborns to help with child care and housework, and began working on Sept. 3 after about a month of training.
They, however, left their quarters on Sept. 15, the second day of a five-day Chuseok holiday. They were supposed to return to work by Sept. 18 but did not.
The Busan immigration office and police found they illegally got jobs in Busan and arrested them at their residences early this month.
