“I hope they understand that it is part of our culture to protect our fellow Filipinos from being trafficked and becoming modern-day slaves. That is part of the duty of the Bureau of Immigration, and there is nothing we can do about that. The prevailing advisory is that we should arrive very early at the airport for processing to avoid the risk of being offloaded,” Remulla said.
Earlier, the DOJ said human traffickers have become more creative in attracting potential victims as they managed to get the attention of professional tech-savvy individuals who are well-traveled to work in regional call centers. However, these victims would later on be involved in online scamming and other fraudulent activities.
Remulla added that more immigration counters would be opened as the BI is currently hiring more immigration personnel as part of its program to ease congestion at the airports. The DOJ-led Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking earlier said it is in the process of revising the departure formalities to minimize inconvenience being experienced by Filipino travelers.
