MANILA, Philippines– The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) in the Philippines has urged the government to strengthen the enforcement of anti-trafficking laws in response to an increasing number of alleged human trafficking cases involving Filipinos in Myanmar.

In a statement, the CHR expressed profound concern over reports that Filipinos are being trafficked into illegal scam hubs in Myanmar.

Philippine authorities have reported the successful repatriation of 30 Filipino victims of human trafficking from Myanmar.

The Commission emphasized the need for comprehensive actions to dismantle trafficking networks and called for a collaborative approach among government agencies to effectively address the issue.

The CHR stressed the importance of adherence to the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003. This legislation outlines the penalties for trafficking offenses and establishes institutional mechanisms to protect and support trafficked individuals.

According to reports, the trafficking rings in Myanmar are allegedly involved in recruiting Filipinos under false pretenses, often to work in illegal operations.

The CHR urged the Philippine government to work closely with international partners to combat human trafficking and to ensure the safety and well-being of Filipino citizens abroad.

In response to the CHR’s call, the Philippine government has vowed to enhance its anti-trafficking measures.

Officials acknowledged the challenges presented by transnational trafficking networks and expressed their commitment to addressing these issues through policy enhancements and increased cooperation with neighboring countries.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) have pledged to prioritize the repatriation of trafficking victims and to provide them with necessary support and assistance.

They have also committed to raising awareness about the dangers of human trafficking among Filipinos seeking employment abroad.
