That troublesome backdoor

|The Freeman
This week saw the repatriation of many Filipinos who had been taken advantage of abroad.
-
There were the three Filipinos who had been lured to work for a scam hub in Cambodia. They said they would be tortured or beaten if they committed “offenses”. Even after they escaped they said their employers put out bounties to find them.
Then there were also 30 Filipinos just returned from Myanmar where they were also tricked into working for a scam hub. One victim said they were also beaten, maltreated, or left exposed to the heat of the sun if they couldn’t meet their daily “quota”. He said they were only rescued after the Myanmar military conducted a surprise inspection of the facility.
