DoJ dismisses nurses’ complaint vs Sentosa

MANILA, Philippines -- The Department of Justice has dismissed the illegal recruitment complaint of 13 Filipino nurses in the United States against Sentosa Recruitment Agency in the Philippines and Sentosa Care LLC of New York for insufficiency of evidence.

In a seven-page decision, Senior State Prosecutor Doris S. Alejo, said they found no substantive alterations in the employment contracts signed by the nurses to sustain their charges.

Sentosa Recruitment Agency’s lawyer, Ibaro B. Relamida Jr., in a statement Monday, said this was the third successive loss of the New York nurses since the case was filed in June 2006. The nurses also lost their cases filed with the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) and the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC).
