Facts:
Accused Rosemarie Robles, Bernadette Miranda, Nenita Catacotan, Jojo
Resco and Beth Temporada are all employees of ATTC, a Travel and Tour
Company, recruited and promised overseas employment for a fee to
Rogelio Legaspis Jr, as a technician in Singapore, and other overseas
workers. The accused were holding office in Makati but eventually
transferred to Manila. After paying placements fees, none of the
overseas recruits was able to leave or recover what they have paid,
thus they filed separate criminal complaints against accused in
Manila.
Ruling:
The Court affirms the modification of the CA, except for the penalty
on the 5 counts of estafa.
The Court agrees with the lower court that the accused were guilty
of illegal recruitment by a syndicate with the penalty of life
imprisonment. The accused were convicted separately also for 5 counts
of estafa.
