Six Filipinos were rescued from human trafficking syndicates in Myanmar after they escaped to Thailand, Malacañang reported on Monday.
The victims—four females and two males who were not identified due to security reasons—were recruited via social media and were made to believe that they would be working as customer service representatives in Thailand.
They were able to get in touch with Police Col. Dominador Matalang, the police attaché in Bangkok, who coordinated with the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission for their rescue.
