The Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) field office in Northern Mindanao continues to monitor the cases of the 10 minors who were rescued during anti-human trafficking entrapment operations in Iligan City last May 7 and 9.
DSWD Region 10 director Ramel Jamen reported that they will continue to render case management of the children, along with legal coordination and rehabilitation support to ensure that they will recover from their traumatic experiences.
“As public servants, it is our calling to act swiftly and compassionately in the face of exploitation,” Jamen said.
“At DSWD, we are anchored in the values of quick, caring and sincere and responsive public service. We do not just respond—we care deeply. These children deserve not only rescue but a life of healing, opportunity, and respect,” he added.
