NewsTranscript
00:00The three Filipinos who worked in a scam hub and were tortured in Cambodia were able to return to the Philippines.
00:07They were not only hurt, but they were also bitten by a rat and were given a cigarette by the Filipinos.
00:14Witnesses are John Consuta.
00:20The three Filipinos in Cambodia suffered a severe bruise and wound to their bodies.
00:26Their complaint was that they were tortured in a scam hub there.
00:31They sent a video to GMA Integrity News asking for their grandfather.
00:36They also told that they were bitten by a rat and were given a cigarette by the Filipinos.
00:42We know that we can go home safely to our family in the Philippines.
00:48While we are still here, we don't know what can happen.
00:55Yesterday, they were tested and were able to return to the Philippines.
01:00These are the people behind me.
01:03These are our countrymen who were assisted by the National Bureau of Investigation
01:11to be able to leave Cambodia and return to the Philippines.
01:17We were able to get information that they were slaughtered in the back door of our country.
01:24The wounds and bruises are still visible on their bodies.
01:27Thank God for the second life of the three of us.
01:33The victim, Alice, did not die of the beating.
01:37That's why she was given a cigarette and hot steel to wake up.
01:41When this happened to me, I did not wake up because they thought I was dead.
01:46When I woke up, I was given a second dose of steel because it was too hot.
01:51When I woke up, the Chinese suddenly laughed at me.
01:55They laughed at you?
01:56Yes, they laughed at me and gave me a cigarette.
01:59To save the three Filipinos, the NBI contacted Interpol
02:04and the Interagency Council Against Trafficking or IACAT.
02:07Four NBI agents went to Cambodia.
02:10They followed the three of them to a safe house
02:13where they were told that an employer was also looking for them
02:15and they were given a reward for teaching them.
02:19To get out of the Philippines,
02:21the three of them drove on a small boat.
02:25In the middle of the sea, they were transferred to a bigger boat
02:29that they brought to Sabah, Malaysia.
02:31There, they were given a pegging departure stamp for their passport.
02:37In Malaysia, they did that.
02:40Whoever the recruiter contacted,
02:46they were surprised that as if they went out of the Philippines.
02:50According to the NBI, they were recruited online as a customer service representative
02:55who has a salary of US$1,000 per month, but they were made scammers.
03:01What happened to them is not different from the experience of other Filipinos
03:05who were also victims of human trafficking.
03:07Twelve Filipinos were sent back to the Philippines
03:10from a crypto farm in Myanmar last month.
03:14Some of them were also full of pain from the pain of a Chinese employer.
03:19According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime,
03:22more than 2,000 Filipinos were victims of human trafficking from 2019 to 2023.
03:31Don't be fooled by the offer of a high salary.
03:34For them, it's US$1,000 per month.
03:37Just believe in accredited recruitment agencies.
03:43Don't be fooled by them.
03:48You will only be in danger in other countries.
03:50For GMA In the Hidden News, I am John Consulta, your witness.
03:57Makapuso, maging una sa saksi.
