After revealing the human trafficking cases in Myanmar, Senator Risa Hontiveros on Wednesday revealed that some Filipinos were also illegally recruited to work as crypto-scammers in Cambodia too.
“Filipinos are becoming the main target of human trafficking syndicates. Matapos nating matulungan ang ilang Pinoy sa Myanmar na inaabuso at sapilitang pinagtrabaho bilang crypto scammer, ngayon, malalaman nating meron din palang ganitong modus sa Cambodia. These fraud factories are part of a disturbing industry that has to be dismantled,” Hontiveros said in a statement.
Similar to the case of human trafficking in Myanmar, Miles said they were being forced by their Chinese bosses to dupe citizens from countries like the United States of America and Canada, and encourage them to invest in cryptocurrencies. "Kapag wala kang nakukuhang kliyente, ang ginagawa, pinagtatrabaho [kami] ng mahigit 16 hours, walang tulog, seven days a week… Meron po akong nakita at narinig ko po mismo na kinuryente na kasamang empleyado,” she recalled.
"Sa Clark, may escort po sila na immigration. May agent po doon na nagbu-book ng ticket at may contact na po doon sa mismo immigration officer. Hindi na po ini-interview, wala na rin pong documents na hinihingi basta tinatatakan na lang po diretso," Miles narrated."Bago ka po muna mag-flight papupuntahin ka muna sa bahay nila. Kapag nandun na kayo sa bahay nila, ipa-practice po kayo tapos kung anong gagawin, anong sasabihin.
The lawmaker said she will disclose more details on this case of human trafficking in Cambodia during the continuation of the Senate hearing on the issue.
