MANILA, Philippines — The National Authority on Child Care (NACC) on Thursday urged the public not to patronize or engage in extra-legal online adoptions following reports of 'baby trade' Facebook groups. 'We enjoin the public not to patronize or engage in adoption via online neither in-person. This is trafficking in persons and you will be held liable under the rule of law,' stressed the child care authority. The NACC assured that, as part of the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT), investigations in tandem with other concerned agencies are in place and currently await further updates from the concerned regional IACAT.
