There are indeed illegal recruitment activities along these lines,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an ongoing operation in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last month, the Bureau of Immigration intercepted four Filipino passengers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport who were traveling to Thailand and Vietnam. Upon questioning, they said their final destination was Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Some were recruited through a Facebook post to work as \u201csecurity personnel for a promised monthly salary of P70,000 ($1,100),\u201d the BI said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Another one, according to the statement, \u201cclaimed that he was promised a monthly salary of P150,000 ($2,300), citizenship after one year, and additional bonuses for completing a special mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The men were assessed as potential victims of human trafficking and were turned over to the Inter-Agency Council Against
