MANILA, Philippines - A girl was rescued by police officers and social workers from a motel room in Sta. Cruz, Manila Thursday afternoon.

The motel room was allegedly rented by Misa Datuindal and Sunor Macalangcong and used as a prostitution den.

Immigration officers at the airport have been ordered to strictly check Filipino tourists bound for South Korea following the apprehensions of several undocumented overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) bound for South Korea.

Commissioner Ricardo David said that the tension in the Korean Peninsula has not deterred human trafficking syndicates from sending their victims there as shown by the recent successive apprehensions of "tourist workers."

Isang Australian national ang himas rehas ngayon at sinampahan ng kasong paglabag sa Republic Act 10364 (Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012) makaraang masagip ng mga awtoridad mula sa kanyang cybersex den ang 15 kababaihan noong Miyerkules sa Bgy. Labangon, Cebu City.

Ayon kay Rey Villordon, supervising agent ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) ng Region 7, karamihan sa mga nasagip na biktima ay menor de edad na ginagamit umano ni Drew Frederick Shobbrook, 46, sa kanyang iligal na negosyo.
