PHOTO BY NOLI GUMAPAC BATHURST STREET AND WILSON AVENUE PH failed to stamp out human trafficking Public Officials are complicit in the human trafficking operations The Philippines has not done enough to stamp out human trafficking, accord- ing to the 2015 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report released by the United States. The report placed the Philippines at Tier 2 in its three-tier ranking system, which means that the country has yet to fully comply with the Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000. The TIP report provides the most comprehensive information on gov- ernment efforts around the world to combat modern slavery. “In this latest report, the State De- partment determined that the Philip- pines made significant efforts to combat human trafficking; however, the country has not yet fully complied with the minimum standards for the elimina- tion of trafficking,” the US Embassy in Manila said. The report released by Secretary of State John Kerry identified the Philip- pines as a “source country,” and to a much lesser extent, “a destination and transit country for men, women and children subjected to sex trafficking and Summer forced labor.” An estimated 10 million Filipinos work abroad, and many are subjected to sex trafficking, forced labor and debt bondage in the fishing, construction, education, nursing, shipping, agricul- tural industries and hospital-related jobs throughout the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America, the report said.
