Share TweetBy Jun RamirezBureau of Immigration (BI) officers have intercepted eight suspected human trafficking victims at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) who tried to leave the country in the guise of being tourists. In a report to Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente, BI Port Operations Chief Grifton Medina said the passengers were apprehended at the NAIA terminal 3 before they could board their flight to Dubai en route to Cyprus. The passenger initially claimed she and her companions were traveling to Cyprus for a vacation, but her answers to questions during the interview were inconsistent. The eight were turned over to the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) for assistance and further investigation.
