The Bureau of Immigration (BI) intercepted two female passengers believed to be victims of human trafficking, along with two suspected facilitators, at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Immigration officers flagged the group, who posed as tourists and were set to board a Philippine Airlines flight bound for China.

One of the women initially claimed they were on a company-sponsored incentive tour but later admitted she intended to work as a domestic helper for a promised monthly salary of P40,000.
The two other passengers, a husband and wife, were assessed as possible couriers accompanying the victims.
The BI turned over all four individuals to the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking for further investigation.
