00:00They were forced to work, starve, and burn their passports.
00:04This is one of the crimes committed by Filipinos who were victims of human trafficking in Myanmar.
00:10And one of the victims was injured even though she was pregnant.
00:14J.P. Soriano is a witness.
00:20From the Philippines, some Philippine officials chartered a flight to Thailand
00:25to escort the Filipinos who were rescued from the scum hubs in Myanmar.
00:30The DFA and OWA are here to escort the more than 170 Filipino victims of human trafficking.
00:38They are the largest batch that will be sent home this year.
00:45Because they were forced to go to Myanmar, their last stop in Thailand is still in Passport.
00:50And the record shows that they are already overstaying.
00:53But they were allowed to leave immediately by boarding a chartered flight.
00:59Among them is Rose. Her name is not her real name.
01:03She told me that they were recruited by a messaging app to be call center agents in Thailand.
01:11She was first flown to Hong Kong before being flown to Bangkok, Thailand, and then boarded a boat to Myanmar.
01:18My husband and I were tortured in a room.
01:21We were given a snow food intake for almost a week.
01:25They are still being tortured even though they know that Rose is pregnant.
01:31I was shot with a gun.
01:32Even though my husband and I feel sorry for them, they don't smile.
01:36They are still hurting us.
01:39Her husband was also with them when he recruited Rose.
01:42Her name is also not her real name.
01:44But when they traveled to Myanmar, they were separated.
01:48I was surprised because I was separated from my wife.
01:54They also met each other after being sold by their Chinese employer in Myanmar.
02:01For no reason, Rose's Chinese boss burned her passport.
02:06I feel sorry for them.
02:10I don't know what happened to them.
02:12We were sold to another country.
02:18The only reason they are going home is because the scam factories are closing.
02:25Because the Thailanders shut off the electricity and the internet.
02:31This is a trilateral cooperation with Thailand, Myanmar, and China.
02:36Some Filipinos are also in the scam hubs in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos.
02:41But it's too late.
02:43They were all sent to Thailand.
02:46Although we can go to Thailand without a visa, it doesn't mean we can work in Thailand.
02:50So if they promise you jobs in Thailand, where will you go?
02:53We understand that they really need jobs, but not in this way.
03:01When they return to the Philippines,
03:03they were asked to swear an oath to sue their recruiter.
03:09They will also receive help from the government.
03:13For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, your Saksi.
03:23This is GMA Integrated News for Ibat Ibang Balita.
