A BI officer and 3 other persons have been charged criminally before the Pampanga provincial prosecutor’s office for their alleged human trafficking schemes that lured Filipinos to false promises of work as call center agents in Cambodia. ManilaBulletin
Instead of call center agents, those victimized by the group were forced to work in Cambodia as “crypto-currency scammers,” the National Bureau of Investigation said.
Aside from human trafficking, they were charged with illegal recruitment, large scale estafa, and graft and corrupt practices, the NBI said in a statement issued on Tuesday, March 28. It said: “Investigation disclosed that victims were recruited to work as ‘call center agents’ in Cambodia by Rachel Almendra Luna a.k.a. Kate promising a salary of $800-$900 monthly, while a certain Princess Batac Guerrero a.k.a. Hannie facilitated the processing of their travel documents and escorted them inside the airport during their supposed flight. Guerrero also coached them on what to do at the Immigration Counter.
Also, in filing the charges, the NBI said it received a certification from the Department of Migrant Workers that shows that Guerrero and Luna are “not licensed or authorized by the government to recruit Filipino workers for overseas employment.”
