THE Senate panel that broke the “pastillas” scam among corrupt immigration officers has exposed another nefarious operation, this time enabling the human trafficking of Filipino jobseekers within the Asean region, only to fall prey to Chinese syndicates that brutalize them.
The resource person taken in by Hontiveros’s committee, a certain “Paulo,” narrated how he narrowly avoided the tragic fate of Filipinos who remain stranded in subhuman conditions in Myanmar, by hastily fleeing from what he sensed were syndicate hands who facilitated his aborted departure from NAIA last October.
When Hontiveros asked the guest BI officer at the hearing to examine the stamp, the official said it was a “fake” BI stamp because they do not have an officer with ID Number “393.”
