President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered the government to intensify its efforts against human trafficking, the Department of Justice (DOJ)
According to DOJ Assistant Secretary Mico Clavano, President Marcos is keen on keeping the country’s Tier 1 ranking by the US State Department as he tasked the DOJ’s Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking to strengthen its operations.
Clavano said that Mr. Marcos was briefed on the issue of trafficking before the President graced the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, in which human trafficking is expected to be discussed. Also included in the revised guidelines is the boosting of jobs and opportunities in the country to keep Filipino workers migrating abroad, thus limiting the chances of trafficking.
