MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): The government must immediately look into the alleged trafficking of persons carried out by syndicates who organise foreign tours to lure their victims, which has led to the recent rise in kidnapping cases in the country, Sen. Grace Poe said on Thursday (Sept 15).
At the hearing of the Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs, Poe urged the Philippine National Police and concerned agencies to ensure “tight coordination” instead of issuing conflicting statements that only confuse the public.
