April 28, 2025

Filipino trafficking victims, who were forced to work in scam hubs in Cambodia, were found to have been "sold" or "transferred" to other criminal syndicates, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) said on Sunday, April 27.

"They were treated like property bought, sold, and abused," said BI Commissioner Joel Anthony M. Viado in a statement.

Viado said this sale or transfer of victims was revealed by several Filipino trafficking victims who returned to the Philippines last April 19 after being repatriated from Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
