00:00The Department of Migrant Workers in Philippines is ready to provide assistance to some Filipinos in Cambodia
00:06because of the surrogacy scheme.
00:09This is what the Migrant Workers Secretary, Hans Leo Kakdag, said.
00:13Especially if this case can be proven as illegal recruitment or human trafficking.
00:18The DMW will continue to consult with the Department of Foreign Affairs about this.
00:23For now, the two Filipinos are in good condition.
00:27It is also being investigated if there are other people involved in the surrogacy scheme.
00:32Surrogacy is considered illegal in Cambodia.
00:35And anyone who violates it can be jailed for 2 to 20 years.
00:41There are reports that there is a recruiter involved.
00:45If this is a matter of illegal recruitment or human trafficking,
00:50we can work closely with the DFA and the DOJ along these lines.
