00:30The Philippines was the first country to get a job in Thailand, but it was made a surrogate mother in Cambodia.
00:35Mav Gonzalez has the story.
00:4013 Filipinos traveled to Cambodia to work.
00:44But when the Filipinas returned earlier, some of them had children.
00:49One of them is already a month old.
00:51They were recruited online to be surrogate mothers,
00:54or the people who are brought in for the children of others.
00:57According to the Department of Foreign Affairs or DFA,
00:59they were among the 20 Filipinas arrested by the Cambodian authorities in September.
01:04Surrogacy is prohibited in Cambodia where they were brought,
01:07instead of Thailand that was promised to them.
01:22Seven of them were the first to return to the Philippines,
01:24but 13 were left there and were charged.
01:27In December 2, they were convicted for human trafficking.
01:31But in December 26, they were given royal pardon in Cambodia.
01:49The Interagency Council Against Trafficking or IACAT is investigating the Filipino recruits.
01:55For now, this is the only case where many Filipinos were involved in surrogacy.
01:59The women are worried that they were chased by their recruiter.
02:04They will remain in a facility of the DSWD.
02:07According to DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian,
02:10they are considered victims of human trafficking.
02:13They will be given all the assistance,
02:15including counseling and transportation back to their provinces.

02:25A Filipino domestic worker is now in jail in Kuwait
02:28who was involved in the murder of a Kuwaiti child.
02:32J.P. Soriano was arrested.
02:37The government of the Philippines is saddened by the news
02:41that a Kuwaiti domestic helper
02:43stabbed a child inside a washing machine
02:47and killed her.
02:49According to the Arab Times,
02:50the child was hospitalized by her parents
02:52but was also killed due to injuries.
02:55Since the case is still being investigated,
02:58the DFA's Office of the Migrant Affairs
03:00has limited information.
03:04That's what appears in the Kuwaiti news,
03:06that she confessed because she was angry with the child.
03:08So, we have to also see her state of mind.
03:12Maybe that's also a defense.
03:15It's not normal to do that to a child.
03:18She was only one year old.
03:20The government of the Philippines is saddened by the news
03:23that a Kuwaiti domestic helper
03:25stabbed a child inside a washing machine
03:27and killed her.
03:30We assure everyone that the DMW,
03:33of course, aside from cooperating with the Kuwaiti authorities
03:37and our embassy in Kuwait,
03:39will pursue an in-depth look on this incident.
