IACAT issues strict guidelines for international bound passengers at the country’s exit ports

The Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) has formulated a set of procedures on the assessment of departing international-bound passengers in all airports and seaports nationwide meant to prevent indiscriminate off-loadings and chances of extortion by unscrupulous airport personnel.
Sources of fake travel documents warned
|
IACAT, the lead agency tasked to eradicate human trafficking and related concerns, with its primary mandate of developing mechanisms to ensure the timely, coordinated and effective response to cases of trafficking in persons, will now take custody of fake or fraudulently-acquired travel documents and investigate and file cases against the source of such.
Anti-Human Trafficking Actionline
|
The Inter-Agency Council against Trafficking-Advocacy and Communications Committee (IACAT-ADVOCOM) launched the 1343 Actionline "Laban Kontra Human Trafficking" campaign which became fully operationalized last March 15.
The 1343 actionline is a 24/7 hotline that will respond to emergency or crisis calls from victims of human trafficking.
The 1343 actionline may be accessed from any point in Metro Manila. It is likewise accessible from the provinces by dialing Manila's area code (02), then the actionline number. It is set to become toll free all over the nation and even globally in the near future.
