This case marks a tragic milestone.
“On Tuesday, June 10, 10 underage workers were rescued by National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents from their Chinese employers at the 168 mall in Binondo, Manila,” reports Aie Balagtas See in The Philippine Star.
NBI Anti-Human Trafficking Division (AHTRAD) chief Dante Bonoan was quoted as saying, “This is the first case we’ve had with foreigners as human traffickers and the trafficking is done in the country.”
The AHTRAD’s report revealed that “most of the workers receive less than PHP150 a day after working for 14 hours as salespersons.” Bonoan added that some of them would even serve as maids after the mall hours.
Representatives from the Deparment of Justice, Department of Labor and Employment, and Department of Social Welfare and Development accompanied NBI agents in rescuing the workers, “whose employers are liable for violating the laws prohibiting human trafficking and child abuse and protecting the rights of kasambahays or domestic workers.” –Coconuts Manila
