00:00Thirteen Filipinos who were made surrogate mothers in Cambodia are now returning to the Philippines

00:05after getting a job in Thailand.

00:07According to the DSWD, they are considered victims of human trafficking

00:11and will be given counselling and transportation to their respective provinces.

00:16Here is the latest news from MAV Gonzales.

00:22Thirteen Filipinos are still traveling to Cambodia to work.

00:26But when they return to the Philippines, how many of them have children?

00:30One of them is a month old.

00:32They were recruited online to be surrogate mothers

00:35or the people who are brought in for the children of others.

00:38According to the Department of Foreign Affairs or DFA,

00:41they are among the 20 Filipinos who were caught by the Cambodian authorities in September.

00:46Surrogacy is prohibited in Cambodia where they were brought

00:49instead of Thailand that was promised to them.

00:52They will not know each other if they go to Thailand.

00:55The payment is 10,000 to 12,000 dollars

00:57as long as the child can be delivered.

01:00They are not the egg cell of the sperm cell.

01:03Seven of them were the first to return to the Philippines

01:06but 13 were left there and were charged.

01:09On December 2, they were convicted of human trafficking.

01:13But on December 26, they were given royal pardon in Cambodia.

01:17This is part of the agreement.

01:20They will sell their babies and bring them home as their own.

01:25We registered them as Filipino citizens.

01:30The Interagency Council Against Trafficking or IACAT is investigating the Filipino recruits.

01:36For now, this is the only case where many Filipinos were involved in surrogacy.

01:41The women are worried that their recruits will chase them away.

01:45They will stay in a facility of the DSWD.

01:48According to DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian,

01:51they are considered victims of human trafficking.

01:54They will be given all the assistance including counseling

01:57and transportation to their respective provinces.

02:00They are in good condition.

02:02The first intervention we are giving them is temporary shelter

02:06because it is important that they have a place to stay

02:09where we have professionals there, social workers,

02:12who can give them psychosocial intervention.

02:15We will also make sure that their families will be contacted.

02:18This is the first news.
