Here we go again with more ‘MOB’ nonsense-speak.
“The Filipino wife end up being a domestic helper to her husband and his family or in worst situations, abroad“
What the hell does that mean? Were ALL Filipinas who married foreigners victims of trafficking?
“Records of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Ramos said, show more than four million reported cases of illegal recruitment and human trafficking nationwide as of 2004”
What? Four million? Horse crap! Where do these idiots get these numbers anyway? Is she still talking about foreign brides or WTF?
“She said of the more than four million reported cases, only ten percent or 4,000 complaints were filed…”
Let’s see…10% of 4,000,000 = 400,000, NOT 4,000 you bozo! Shouldn’t that be more like 0.1% ? And just what did they complain about?
According to CFO’s published statistics, the TOTAL number of ALL female emigrants from the Philippines, from 1981-2003 since they started keeping these records, was only about 742 thousand. How the hell did she come up with 4 million “victims” out of that? I think she obviously made this stuff up to serve her own “agenda”.
That’s just what the CFO needs. A counselor who hates foreign marriages, and can’t even do simple math. Wonderful!
This is a perfect example of why all this talk about “human trafficking” is mostly just a bunch of feminist bull-shit.

Dumagueteños advised against intermarriage
By Victor L. Camion
THE Commission on Filipino Overseas (CFO) warned Dumagueteños against illegal recruitment, human trafficking, and documentation fraud on migration and intermarriage.
Janet Ramos, CFO counselor and orientation officer, issued the warning in a pres briefing Thursday at the office of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) in Dumaguete City.
Ramos said CFO has documented cases of fraud involving Filipino women who wanted to marry foreigners.
She said the cases mostly involved mail order brides, a marriage arranged by brokers for Filipino women and foreigners.
"The Filipino wife end up being a domestic helper to her husband and his family or in worst situations, abroad," Ramos said.
She also warned against direct hiring, escort services, blind ads, visa assistance or immigration consultancy scheme, among others.
Records of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Ramos said, show more than four million reported cases of illegal recruitment and human trafficking nationwide as of 2004.
She said of the more than four million reported cases, only ten percent or 4,000 complaints were filed before the office of the Presidential Anti-illegal Recruitment Task Force (PARTF).
The majority 90 percent was not interested to file charges against their alleged offenders, Ramos said.
She said CFO has strengthened its education and information campaigns on various issues on migration, intermarriage and existing government policies and programs against illegal recruitment, documentation fraud, and human trafficking.
