The evidence, both testimonial and documentary, showing that appellant was the treasurer of Japs International Trading Corporation, would completely negate her claim of being just a simple employee. Not that it would really matter, for whether she was the treasurer of the corporation or she was just an ordinary employee of the company, her criminal liability would still stand for being a conspirator with the corporate officers in undertaking the illegal recruitment activities as so explicitly alleged in the information. The group acted in concert in performing their respective designated roles in the enterprise, i.e., Floro Cosa (father of accused-appellant) as the President, Bing Domingo as Secretary, Frederick Domingo as Operations Manager, and Flor Cosa as Treasurer/Cashier, in order to ensure the success of the business. The defense failed to dispute the fact that Japs International Trading Corporation had not been licensed or authorized by the Department of Labor and Employment to engage in the recruitment of persons for overseas employment. The recruitment activities undertaken by appellant, along with the other officers of Japs International Trading Corporation, were in clear violation of Article 38 of the Labor Code. The offense was committed in large scale, i.e., against three or more persons individually or as a group.vii[7] Article 38 of the Labor Code provides: ART. 38. Illegal Recruitment. - (a) Any recruitment activities, including the prohibited practices enumerated under Article 34 of this Code to be undertaken by non-licensees or non-holders of authority shall be deemed illegal and punishable under Article 39 of this Code. The Ministry of Labor and Employment or any law enforcement officer may initiate complaints under this Article. (b) Illegal recruitment when committed by a syndicate or in large scale shall be considered an offense involving economic sabotage and shall be penalized in accordance with Article 39 hereof. Illegal recruitment is deemed committed by a syndicate if carried out by a group of three (3) or more persons conspiring and/or confederating with one another in carrying out any unlawful or illegal transaction, enterprise or scheme defined under the first paragraph hereof. Illegal recruitment is deemed committed in large scale if committed against three (3) or more persons individually or as a group. For the above offense, Article 39(a) of the Labor Code prescribes the penalty of life imprisonment and a fine of One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P100,000.00). The penalty of life imprisonment imposed by the trial court accords with the law; however, it has failed to further impose the fine of One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P100,000.00) which the law equally mandates. WHEREFORE, the decision appealed from finding accused-appellant Celia Flor Cosa guilty beyond reasonable doubt of illegal recruitment in large scale is AFFIRMED; in addition, however, to the penalty of life imprisonment imposed on her by the court a quo, accusedappellant is likewise ordered to pay a FINE of One Hundred Thousand Pesos (P100,000.00). Costs against accused-appellant.
