Filipino leaders have become concerned in the rise of sex and human trafficking between the Philippines and the United States. The Philippine Oversees Employment Administration (POEA) has reported the existence of two more human trafficking crime syndicates that are trafficking women in from the Philippines to the United States. These syndicates are preying on the Filipino women that want to go to the United States. The syndicates are charging $7,000 per victim. House Deputy Speaker and Quezon Rep. Lorenzo "Erin" Tanada III stated that the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) should go after these syndicates.
This is very concerning that there is a rise in these sex and human trafficking crime syndicates. The syndicates prey upon women who want to go to the US and are not aware that they are in trouble until it is too late. It is commendable that these leaders and politicians are aware of the problems and are willing to stop it and do more. It would be easy for these politicians to take bribes and look the other way, but these do not.
