00:00The Philippine and Cambodia's joint investigation is now underway

00:05on the involvement of the 20 Filipinos who were made surrogate mothers there.

00:12According to our intelligence, 7 of them will be the first to return home.

00:17Ian Cruz is on the case.

00:22Even though the 20 Filipinos were rescued in Cambodia

00:25who were made surrogate moms or who were brought in for other people's children,

00:30our embassy there continues to assist the National Commission for Counter-Trafficking of Cambodia.

00:36So that the masterminds of human trafficking can learn.

00:45So when it comes to us, we are the ones who investigate.

00:49The parallel or joint investigation of our authorities is underway.

00:54There are indicators that say that there is also trafficking here in the Philippines.

01:01So those are the perpetrators that we will also investigate here in the Philippines.

01:07There are cases that will be investigated in Cambodia depending on the consultation of the authorities there.

01:12But for now, repatriation is a priority for the victims.

01:167 of the 20 rescued will be the first to return home.

01:20Because 13 Filipinos are now in a hospital in Cambodia.

01:25It's good that they are not in jail.

01:28They are also in a room.

01:31The embassies regularly visit them, especially one of them is close to giving birth.

01:37The longest is 7 months.

01:40So in 2 months, they will give birth.

01:41The others are in the first trimester.

01:45Unlike other countries, surrogacy is also prohibited in Cambodia

01:49where couples who have a problem giving birth are helped.

01:52There is a punishment here.

01:55It's a 2 to 20-year prison here.

01:59So let us be really, really careful.

02:03Surrogate moms are usually recruited online.

02:06When there are posts that are lying about being a surrogate mother,

02:13we should be careful because we will be in danger if we are brought to Cambodia.

02:19Surrogate mothers are not only recruited online

02:21on various social media platforms,

02:29but also become visa-free by our country's neighbors.

02:34In fact, the 20 rescued in Cambodia

02:38first visited other Southeast Asian countries before Cambodia.

02:42Then they were transferred to other countries.

02:44So like I said, it's a cycle.

02:47It's a cycle, so it's hard for them to learn.

02:50We work closely with the DFA,

02:52and that includes the unfortunate incident about the surrogate mothers.

02:59Rest assured, we will do our level best to find our possible interventions

03:07in coordination with our Department of Foreign Affairs.
