Two women suspected to be trafficking victims held at NAIA
Bureau of Immigration (BI) agents at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 intercepted two women attempting to travel to Bangkok under fraudulent pretenses.
The women, aged 25 and 31, initially claimed to be co-workers from a Quezon City-based business process outsourcing company on a vacation trip.
Immigration officials became suspicious due to inconsistencies in their travel documents and their responses during questioning.
The women confessed that they were hired to work as customer service representatives in Laos with a promised monthly salary of P50,000.
They admitted to paying a social media-sourced fixer P3,000 each for falsified travel documents to support their fabricated vacation story.
BI Commissioner Atty. Joel Anthony Viado warned the public about fraudulent employment schemes in Asian countries that often target Filipinos seeking overseas customer service jobs.
