MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) on Monday called on officials of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to investigate the possible involvement of airline personnel in facilitating the departure of victims of human trafficking and illegal recruitment. This came after immigration officers at NAIA Terminal 3 intercepted a woman who attempted to leave the country with a fake immigration departure stamp on her passport. Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco said the incident happened on April 5 when the passenger was supposed to fly to Kuala Lumpur en route to the United Arab Emirates where she was recruited to work as a domestic household worker.
