The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has prevented from leaving three prospective Filipino overseas workers (OFWs) believed to be victims of a human trafficking syndicate.
In another preemptive move, the bureau also denied the entry of two foreign-registered sex offenders at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport .
“They all initially alleged they were traveling as tourists and one of them even pretended to be a nanny for the 16-year-old boy who is her supposed companion in her trip,” the BI chief added. The third passenger presented a fake Saudi Arabian, visa but eventually surrendered her United Arab Emirates visa, and divulged she was going to Dubai to work as a maid.
