TWO Chinese nationals were arrested while 16 trafficked workers of various nationalities were rescued in a raid by agents of the National Bureau of Investigation in an alleged scam center in Angeles City, Pampanga.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nabbed were Huan Heng Su and De Long Wang, both Chinese nationals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The arrested suspects were subjected to inquest proceedings at the Angeles City Prosecutor\u2019s Office for violation of Article 267 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC) or serious illegal detention.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Joint forces from the NBI-Pampanga District Office (PAMDO), NBI-Central Luzon Regional Office (CELRO), and NBI-International Operations Division (IOD) launched the raid.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The operation stemmed from a complaint filed by the Filipina partner of one of the Chinese victims, asserting that her boyfriend, employed in the scam center, was unlawfully confined by his employers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to the complainant, her boyfriend was forced to work against his will for 18 hours a day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She added that the employers would issue threats of torture and physical harm if the victims opted to resign from their positions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On November 21, 2023, the joint task force rescued the victim and arrested the suspects.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The other workers, primarily of Chinese descent, were also rescued from the suspected scam hub.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rescued Chinese and other foreign nationals were turned over to the Bureau of Immigration (BI) for deportation proceedings.<\/p>\n
