Make-up artist among 5 arrested in anti-illegal work operations

 

A suspected illegal worker is taken away for questioning

After cracking down on foreign domestic helpers providing massage and manicure services, Immigration officers are now on the lookout for foreigners offering make-up services.

A Mainland woman who offered her make-up services through online advertisements was among five people arrested in the latest week-long operation mounted by the Immigration Department to counter illegal work.

Officers disguised as customers contacted the 27-year-old makeup artist to book her services, then arrested her during a sting operation.

Four other suspected illegal workers and one suspected aider and abettor were arrested in the citywide operations that targeted restaurants, retail stores, flats under renovation and other places, from March 20 to 26.

The suspected illegal workers comprised one man and two women, aged 35 to 37. The man was reportedly found with a forged HK identity card.

Another man aged 31 was also arrested on suspicion of abetting the illegal employment.

Illegal work is a serious offence in Hong Kong, for which the maximum sentence that may be imposed is two years in jail and a fine of HK$50,000. Visitors and workers under foreign domestic helper visas fall under this category.

If the worker committed other violations, like overstaying a visa or holding a non-refoulement document that prohibits employment in Hong Kong, the maximum jail term is three years in jail.

Aiders and abettors are similarly punished under Hong Kong laws.

Those found in possession of fake identity documents face the more severe penalty of imprisonment for up to 10 years.

The Eastern Magistrates' Court 

For allowing more than $760,000  in crime money pass through her bank account - a process called money laundering - a Filipina is now in jail for a year.

The sentence is net of the one-third discount, from  the 18-month starting point, given to those who plead guilty.

The early admission prompted Principal Magistrate David Cheung to cancel her next hearing date scheduled for May 8.

Asuncion was charged by the Police Financial Investigation Division last Oct. 22 with dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of indictable offense,contrary to sections 25(1) and 25(3) of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.

The charge arose from the deposits and withdrawals totaling $760,270.13 that went into her ZA Bank account between Oct. 30, 2020 and March 25, 2021.

The police said she dealt with the money, together with an unknown person, that was “in whole or in part directly or indirectly represented any person's proceeds of an indictable offense,” as described by the ordinance.

Scammers getting better but target victims also getting smarter

 

If you're sent this picture by someone wooing you online, run!

It’s a tale as old as time, but the storytelling has gotten better, especially with the use of technology such as AI. Despite this, would-be victims are not as easily fooled anymore.

This was true in the case of  “Y,” a Filipina domestic helper in Hong Kong who told The SUN how she had been tricked into sending money to two men she met on separate dating sites a week ago. Luckily she realized soon enough that the men were both swindling her.

Y said she lost a total of HK$700 that she sent through iTunes (Apple) gift cards to the men who asked for help because they were both surprisingly held up at Hong Kong airport on their way to meet her.

Basahin ang detalye!

(The iTunes cards are often preferred by scammers as a mode of money transfer because once the victim provides the code at the back of the card the funds can be spent instantly, leaving no trace of the person who cashed it in).

But shortly after sending cash to the two, Y felt something was awry, and decided to cut off clean.

It was all because both men claimed to have stopped at the airport after they decided to fly in to see her. Both needed money sent to them so they could call get their relatives to bail them out.

Y hesitated at first, but one of the men who his name as Nelson Martin, began professing how much he loved her, and that it would take only little for her to help him get out of the tight fix he found himself in.

Y said she gave in to his request only because she had – or thought she had – already chatted with him online.

Martin who claimed to be an officer of the US army told her he was at the frontline fighting for Ukraine in its war against Russia, and even sent her gory photos of dead soldiers being thrown into trenches while he along with a few other men, tried to hold the enemy at bay.

Y at first insisted Martin was American, saying they had already chatted through video, until she was told the area code of the telephone number he had used to woo her was registered in Nigeria. She also reluctantly agreed, on hindsight, that the guy she was chatting with online was not really responsive, but merely kept mouthing words meant to show how smitten he was with her.

The realization that she had been played came when someone supposedly from Immigration Department sent her a text message asking why she allowed her boyfriend to try and enter Hong Kong with guns and large amounts of cash.

Photo of a gun that Martin allegedly tried to bring in, along with loads of cash

To make the story more believable, the man on the other line sent her a photo of the pistol supposedly seized at the airport, along with the message: “How can you allow him to enter into this country with very big amounts of money and a pistol..”

Shocked, Y decided to block the number used by the supposed agent, and end her involvement with Martin.

But there was another man in another dating site who also instantly fell for her, and immediately told her he would soon be traveling to Hong Kong to see her.

Crude slip supposedly showing why 'Pedro Oscar' was held at the airport 

On the day of his supposed arrival in Hong Kong, the guy who gave his name as “Pedro Oscar” kept sending videos of HK airport to Y, but never appeared in any of them. Instead he sent photos  of a man in a gaily printed shirt and a top hat posing in front of what looked like a part of HK Airport.

Then – surprise – he too was supposedly stopped from entering for not having a “travel permit.” As proof, he sent a very crude-looking piece of paper in which the name “immigration department hong kong” (all in lower case) was written on the letter head, and below it, written by hand, also in small letter, the words “no travel permit.”

Y again sent money through an iTunes card, but then found out he could no longer contact “Oscar.”

In the end, she decided to ask The SUN to help tell her story so other Filipinas may not be duped the same way. She took comfort in knowing that the money she sent to the scammers was small compared to what many other love scam victims had foolishly lost.

Pinay in jail before plea in 2 drug charges

Marcos declares ‘energy emergency’ amid global oil shortage

Marcos signs EO 110 which will roll out emergency measures to respond to the looming crisis

Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has declared a national energy emergency amid the global oil supply shortage sparked by escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Marcos signed Executive Order 110 to roll out urgent measures to secure energy supply, protect the economy and speed up the shift to renewable energy while mitigating the impact on ordinary people.

Through EO 110, a group chaired by the President called the Unified Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food and Transport (Uplift) will be set up to cushion the impact of the energy crisis.  

Basahin ang detalye!

Uplift will ensure the availability of domestic energy supply, uninterrupted delivery of essential services, continuity of economic activity and protection of vulnerable sectors.

Basahin ang detalye!

Committee members include the Executive Secretary and the secretaries of the Departments of Energy, Transportation, Social Welfare, Agriculture, Finance, Budget and Economy.

The committee will monitor the supply and distribution of fuel, food, medicines and other essential goods, while ensuring public transportation, utility and healthcare services continue as normal.

It will also coordinate efforts to maintain economic stability, streamline government processes and develop long-term strategies to reduce dependence on petroleum products such as promoting the use of electric vehicles in public transport.

Marcos said that disruptions in critical supply routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, threaten global oil production and transportation, and pose risks to the country’s security.

There is thus a need to declare a state of national energy emergency to enable the government to implement coordinated measures to ensure a stable and adequate energy supply while mitigating the impact on the economy.

“As a net importer of petroleum products, the Philippines remains highly dependent on external sources of fuel supply and is therefore vulnerable to disruptions in global oil production and transportation, which may affect the availability and timely delivery of petroleum products necessary to sustain domestic energy requirements,” the order read

“The Secretary of Energy has determined that the foregoing circumstances pose an imminent danger of a critically low energy supply and that urgent measures are necessary to ensure the stability and adequacy of the country’s energy supply,” it added.

Concerned agencies are directed to implement measures to cushion the impact of the fuel shortages, while the private sector, civil society organizations and other stakeholders are urged to partner with government to provide logistical and other support measures to help vulnerable sectors cope with the downturn.

 

Swedish businessman convicted of raping domestic helper loses appeal

 

Ekstrom was allowed bail pending appeal (HK Free Press photo)

A Swedish businessman was sent back to jail Tuesday after he lost his appeal against his conviction for raping his Nepalese domestic helper.

The Court of Appeal ordered Patrik Tobias Ekstrom returned to prison as he was out on bail pending his appeal.

Ekstrom was sentenced to seven years in prison in August 2024 after a jury unanimously declared him guilty on one count of rape and one of buggery of the helper identified only as “X,”, in the incident that happened inside his bedroom Oct. 27, 2022.

Basahin ang detalye!

This was despite his claim that the sexual acts were consensual, and that the helper had entered his bedroom willingly.

He also denied threatening to kill X if she did not agree to having sex with him.

In appealing against his sentence, Ekstrom argued through his lawyer that the trial judge failed to properly instruct the jury about X’s claim that the employer had “also done this to Mohini”, referring to his former domestic helper.

This claim could have made the jury think that Ekstrom had raped both helpers, when in fact, it was mere hearsay, said the defense lawyer.

The lawyer also tried to argue that the judge erred in admitting as evidence voice messages sent by X to Ekstrom’s wife, who was abroad at the time, after the rape.

In those messages, not once did X tell her female employer that she was raped, so the judge should not have allowed them to form part of the evidence, said the lawyer. 

But the appeal judges disagreed, saying those claimed errors did not materially affect the outcome of the case  

X told the court that on the day of the incident Ekstrom returned to his Shek O home looking drunk and forced her into his bedroom, and raped her.

At the time, Ekstrom’s wife and three children were in Japan.

In sentencing, Judge Derek Chan cited a psychological report on Ekstrom which said his chances of committing another sexual offence was on “the high end of the moderate risk.”

Another Pinay to DC for laundering $4M

Another Filipina domestic helper was sent to the District Court to face a charge of money laundering because her bank account had been used as depository for $4 million raised from crime.

Daisy Pueyo, 43 years old, was charged before the Fanling Court with dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of an indictable offense, contrary to section 25(1) and (3) of the Organized and Serious Crimes Ordinance.

The charge arose from deposits and withdrawals of crime money that amounted to $4,001,813.35 in her Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited account between Jan. 15, 2024 and April 30, 2024.

It was alleged in an amended complaint filed by police on  March 20 that she managed her account with a person known as Shiela Marquez.

Acting Principal Magistrate Veronica Heung Shuk-han, scheduled Pueyo’s appearance at District Court for April 9.

In the meantime, the magistrate remanded her back to jail custody.

No longer $2 anywhere for seniors, disabled from Apr 3

 

JoyYou no more: Not all fares will cost only HK$2 from Apr 3

Starting on April 3, seniors holding the JoyYou card or persons with disabilities using personalized Octopus cards will no longer be able to pay a flat rate of HK$2 for most public transport within Hong Kong.

Under the revisions to the transport subsidy scheme first announced in last year’s budget, elderly (those aged 60 years old and above) and disabled passengers will pay 20% of any fare that exceeds HK$10.

But they still get to enjoy the HK$2 subsidy if the fare is HK$10 or below.

Basahin ang detalye!

The change in policy is meant to discourage those who enjoy the subsidized fare from taking the longer and more expensive routes when they could take the shorter and cheaper trips instead.

Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun said on Monday the change "preserves the policy intent of the scheme while striking a balance between enhancing the sustainability of the scheme and minimising impacts on beneficiaries".

Secretary Sun said the new measure will help the government save some HK$550million in the next fiscal year, and will affect 40% of public transport trips.

He said there will be promotion and publicity about the change so elderly people and the disabled are fully informed.

A move to further curb government spending by putting a cap of 240 subsidised fares per person each month is expected to be introduced next year at the earliest.

 

Filipino couple in drug rap leaves young son in limbo

The hooded suspects are led away for questioning (The Standard photo)

The Philippine Migrant Workers Office in Hong Kong says it is providing help to a Filipino couple charged with drug trafficking and child neglect after their 26-month-old baby boy was reportedly found unprotected in their flat on Lamma island.

The 42-year-old Filipino man and the 36-year-old woman who are both domestic helpers, were arrested on Thursday (Mar 19) after police found about HK$200,000 worth of cannabis and cocaine in their home.

The toddler was found in the apartment during the police raid and was taken to Queen Mary Hospital for check-up though he appeared unharmed.

“We are now handling the case including the concerns re the minor child,” said Labor Attache Cesar Chavez, Jr. in a short text message to The SUN, which had earlier learned that both suspects are on foreign domestic helper visa.

Basahin ang detalye!

Given the visa status of the couple, the boy who should be on dependant’s visa, faces an uncertain future.

In previous rulings handed down by the Court of First Instance and upheld by the Court of Appeal, children of FDHs born in Hong Kong do not have right of abode, and their right to remain in Hong Kong depends on whether their parents have that status.

According to reports on the incidnt, Marine Police found about 554 grams of cannabis and 102 grams of cocaine from the couple’s home in Tai Peng Village early on Thursday, following a tip and an in-depth investigation.

Photos taken from the scene showed the couple in handcuffs and their heads covered with black hoods as they were taken away by officers from their home and loaded onto a ferry.

They were subsequently charged with drug trafficking, a serious offence that carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment and a HK$5 million fine.

Ill-treatment of a child is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

A Filipino who was charged with tearing down a steel roller shutter of a doctor’s clinic in Sai Ying Pun, was sentenced today at Eastern Court to 120 hours of community service and ordered to pay $31,000 for the damage.

L. Ombao, 42 years old, who was earning $16,000 monthly as assistant chef, was told to pay the victim, Dr Lau Chin Yeung, in installments of $1,100 a month until fully paid.

Magistrate Kestrel Lam handed down the sentence after the prosecution proposed community service be adopted as punishment since this was the recommendation of a report he ordered earlier, and government laboratory analysis showed Ombao was negative for drugs.

Ombao was charged with criminal damage, contrary to sections 60(1) of the Crimes Ordinance, after he damaged the steel shutter at "Dr Lau Chin Yeung Hokgins Medical Practice", Shop G, G/F, Wealth Building, 53-65 High Street, Sai Ying Pun.

A police complaint said he did this on Nov. 23, 2025 “without lawful excuse, … intending to damage such property or being reckless as to whether such property would be damaged.”

He pleaded guilty and Magistrate Lam put off sentencing until a community service report is made on him.

Lam said he considered that Ombao pleaded guilty , that he was willing to compensate for the damage he caused, and that he had a criminal conviction in 1999. 

He deducted the first installment from Ombao’s $3,000 bail money.

Lying lands DH in jail for 4 months

 

Visa application interview (Immigration Department file photo)

Lying to an Immigration officer three times to extend her employment visa as domestic helper, has landed a Filipina in jail after she was sentenced at Shatin Court to four months’ imprisonment for each offense.

However, Magistrate Raymond Wong ordered that the three sentences he imposed on Josephine Away, 47 years old, run at the same time.

Away was charged with three counts of making a false representation to an Immigration Officer lawfully acting under or in the execution of the Immigration Ordinance, contrary to section 42(1)(a) of the Immigration Ordinance.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

She pleaded guilty in a hearing today.

In the first offense, Away was accused of telling an Immigration officer interviewing her on Feb. 2, 2018 that she would work for Leung Chui Pik as a domestic helper, so she needed only an extension to an expiring visa.

She repeated the lie on Jan. 28, 2023 when she renewed her visa, to an Immigration Officer lawfully acting under or in the execution of Part III (Extension of stay) of the Immigration Ordinance.

Basahin ang detalye!

The third lie was made on July 2, 2024, when she made the same claim during Immigration arrival examination at the airport.

Her claims were lies because she actually worked for Leung’s sister.

Her lawyer, in mitigation, said she thought she did not need to make a change in her Immigration record since her new employer was from the same family.

Magistrate Wong gave her the usual one-third discount from the intial sentence of six months, which she would serve concurrently.
