00:00 The Department of Social Welfare and Development is now in charge of illegal adoption and selling of children online in the country.
00:09 This is what BN Manalo reported.
00:13 There are 20 to 40 Facebook pages that are now investigating illegal selling and adoption of children by DSWD. This is followed by an arrest for an entrapment operation of two individuals.
00:31 One of the children was sold to a woman who gave birth to a baby boy at the age of 8 for P90,000.
00:41 It is worrisome because 1. It is spreading. 2. This is a cruel form of child exploitation at the same time a cruel form of human trafficking.
00:56 The agency is now asking Facebook to stop the operation of the alleged FB pages.
01:05 We will not tolerate such acts of cruelty. We will use the fullest extent of the law to apprehend and to prosecute those that will be caught.
01:22 The agency is now asking the public to adopt the children through the National Authority on Child Care.
01:31 The child is now being cared for at the DSWD Child Care Facility.
01:37 The suspects are now in police custody and are facing multiple charges, including violation of the Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination.
