you might consider adding more teeth, i.e. for the city to make the information available on the Internet via the davaocity government website (to be updated regularly)
- a list of accredited recruiters and their contact information;
- a list of recruiters undergoing licensing;
- a list of suspended recruiters;
- a list of "illegal recruiters;
- a 1800 number for verifying recruiter information (a Davao City 24/7 hot-line which deals on illegal recruitment matters - to be staffed by POEA/LGU)
