August 22, 2025

The Philippine Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) launched help desks in areas with large Korean communities around the country following an appeal from the Korean Embassy to ensure the safety of its citizens.

- By JONATHAN HICAP

Eight Korean Help Desks will be established in Manila, Angeles, Olongapo, Tarlac, and Cebu, areas that have a large Korean population.

The move was in response to serious crimes in recent months such as kidnappings, armed robberies, and fatal attacks that targeted Korean nationals in the country.
