MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Friday said it intercepted 11 suspected victims of human trafficking at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport last June 21. In a statement, the BI said that the 11 passengers — seven females and four males — were bound for Dubai when they raised suspicion during initial inspections and were sent over to the Travel Control and Enforcement Unit (TCEU) for investigation. The airport's TCEU supervisor, Christabel Cuizon, expressed concern over the suspected victims' travel purposes as some had previously been prevented from boarding and were found to possess employment visas.
