Beijing Escorts: Trafficking syndicates prey on Filipino women
Philippine embassies in Beijing and Abu Dhabi and the consulate in Macau reported the increasing influx of Filipino women victimized by gangs that land them into prostitution, drug smuggling and slave labor, particularly in China.
Consul General in Beijing Teresa Almojuela warned that although China continues to enjoy economic expansion, its labor market has not been opened for foreign workers particularly in blue-collar jobs.
Reporting to the DFA, Almojuela said the Chinese government is now worried over the increasing number of undocumented workers from the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
“The Chinese labor market is not yet open for blue-collar Filipino and other foreign workers, thus offers from recruitment agencies to work in the country as blue-collar workers can be considered human trafficking,” she said.

She also reported that four more Filipino women were detained after they were found to be voluntarily engaging in prostitution.
