MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Risa Hontiveros reported Monday that eight Filipinos who were trafficked into Cambodia to work as cryptocurrency scammers are back home weeks after they were extracted by local police there from their Chinese employer.

 

Hontiveros thanked officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Cambodian police and civil society organizations and individuals who helped in the rescue and repatriation of the eight Filipinos.

 

"Weeks passed and a lot of negotiations happened because there are processes of the Cambodian government which need to be followed before the human trafficking victims are allowed back to the Philippines," Hontiveros said in a statement in Filipino.
