CEBU CITY, Philippines – A Korean and a Filipino woman will face human trafficking charges after being accused of pimping local women in Mactan Island, Cebu.on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, that they arrested a 50-year-old Korean man for allegedly running a prostitution ring in a gated subdivision in Brgy. Marigondon, Lapu-Lapu City last March 23.
On Monday, March 27, NBI-Cebdo filed cases against the two suspects through inquest proceedings but the Lapu-Lapu City Prosecutor later dismissed them and ordered the release of the accused. Nevertheless, the NBI-Cebdo official expressed optimism that their case against the two will prosper, adding that the affidavits they secured from the three rescued women are sufficient to hold the two accountable.
“This is just a momentary setback on our part… As so far as NBI-Cebdo is concerned, we respect the mandate and inspection of the city prosecutor. We have no other way but to release the subjects,” Pura said.Special Investigator Bienvenido Panican told members of the media on Wednesday that they already received information about the Korean national’s alleged illegal activities way back in November 2022.
