The NBI arrested two Chinese nationals, Wang Kun and Liu Xiao Xiao, for alleged human trafficking in Taytay, Rizal.
The operation on October 16 was prompted by a complaint from Jinwen Yang regarding his Malaysian friend, Siaw Ping Lim, who claimed to be held against her will and had her passport confiscated by her employer, Ma Shang Lai.
The NBI identified the location as an online scamming operation employing other foreigners who were also confined.
Four individuals were rescued during the raid.
Wang Kun and Liu Xiao Xiao face charges for violating the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003.
Ma Shang Lai, the alleged main perpetrator, remains at large but faces a criminal complaint.
Additional complainants, Lin Dong Bai, Li Tan, and Gan Lin Long, all Chinese nationals, joined the criminal complaint.
