Transcript
00:00Senator Rafi Tulfo stood in the plenary to tell how human traffickers outside the country exploited their victims, the OFWs.
00:13This is probably the route that they used to escape from their escape to the country.
00:19The modus of human traffickers and illegal recruiters in Tulfo's story did not change.
00:24Tulfo said that he worked in Europe in exchange for a placement fee of Php 400,000.
00:31But the way to go to Europe was expensive.
00:36Their journey started on August 6.
00:39They flew a commercial flight from Manila to Zamboanga.
00:45On August 7, they flew from Zamboanga to Tawi-Tawi.
00:50On August 8, they continued their journey by boat.
00:55Here, one of the OFWs was buried.
01:03In fear of being thrown into the sea, he did not survive.
01:09On the night of August 8, they arrived in Semporna, Sabah.
01:14From Sabah to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Makatawid, Thailand,
01:20it was clear to the victims that their entry was dangerous.
01:24They called their recruiter.
01:26They told them what the reason was.
01:29They even tried to ask for money to fix the problem.
01:34The group called their families because their recruiter warned them
01:44that if they did not give extra money,
01:48they would have a problem because they left their luggage with drugs.
01:53This case was closed to Tulfo and the DMW, so they were saved.
01:58But there are still many cases like this.
02:01This issue was referred to the Committee on Labor and Committee on Justice and Human Rights
02:06to investigate.
02:08For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
02:31.
