In New York: Nurses Were Fooled

(Saturday, March 24, updated) - A group of Filipino nurses and their lawyer involved in the Sentosa case faced a New York court (Friday in Manila) for charges yet to be specified by prosecutors, abs-cbnNEWS.com learned. The group included Elmer Jacinto, Juliet Anilao, Harriet Avila, Mark dela Cruz, Claudine Gamiao, Jennifer Lampa, Rizza Maulion, James Millena, Ma. Theresa Ramos, Ranier Sichon and their lawyer, Felix Vinluan.

The nurses were among the 26 who filed a protest and charges in Manila and New York against the Sentosa Ltd. employment agency for allegedly recruiting them to work as nurses. The complainants said that instead of working as nurses, Sentosa employed them as clerks and nursing aides in a retirement home. (ABS-CBN)
