00:00Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.

00:04In Cambodia, 20 Filipinos were convicted of being surrogate mothers

00:09or people who were brought in for the children of others.

00:1213 of them were convicted.

00:15The authorities are now investigating the identification of the illegal recruiter of the victims.

00:19This is what Mark Salazar is talking about.

00:25The Philippine Embassy in Cambodia confirmed

00:29that 20 Filipinos who were convicted of being surrogate mothers

00:33were rescued by the Cambodian National Police in September.

00:37The Inter-Agency Task Force Against Human Trafficking is now in charge of this case

00:42and the process of sending them home.

00:44Those 20, they are not yet home because 13 of them are still in the hospital.

00:52Because they are surrogate mothers.

00:54That will be their role.

00:55In Cambodia, they are doing different things, they are being trafficked.

01:00We are the only ones who are surrogate mothers.

01:03Actually, that's why.

01:05It's possible, it's happening in other countries too.

01:07Surrogacy is bringing a person from the egg that is not his.

01:11The fertilized egg and sperm are injected in the surrogate mother from another person.

01:17Commercial surrogacy is legal in many countries

01:20to help give birth to couples who have problems in giving birth.

01:25But this is prohibited in Cambodia.

01:28And the bulk of this underground industry in Cambodia

01:32is reaching illegal recruitment agencies in the Philippines.

01:37According to the Philippine Embassy in Cambodia,

01:39the Filipinos were recruited by a person who still knows their identity and nationality.

01:45This recruiter, who possibly has a fake name,

01:49was told to arrange a trip for women

01:51who will travel to a Southeast Asian country

01:54but in the end, they ended up in Cambodia.

01:57The problem, according to our embassy,

02:00is that the agency says,

02:02we might not even know the physical address of this embassy

02:08because they were all contacted via social media.

02:12Via email, Facebook.

02:14Cambodia and the rest of the country are among the most monitored countries

02:18by the Bureau of Immigration when it comes to human trafficking.

02:21The challenge is,

02:23some people go to other countries,

02:25not their final destination,

02:27but they are presented with a ticket to a certain country

02:31but they will go transit to the final destination.

02:36Even the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group

02:39does not have a monitored online recruitment

02:42targeting surrogate mothers.

02:44That is why the DFA's agency

02:47does not allow surrogate mothers to work online.

02:51Please, before you go to our country's neighbors

02:56to work,

02:58you will go through the official process.

03:02Of course, there is a fine, there is a hassle,

03:05but it is important, there is protection for you.

03:07Because usually, what they are told is

03:09there is work in Thailand, in Cambodia,

03:11computer work, tourism work.

03:15That is what they are doing.

03:17For GMA Integrated News,

03:19Mark Salazar,

03:21for 24 Hours.
