NBI to probe ‘human smuggling’
JUSTICE Secretary Menardo I. Guevarra on Wednesday said he would order the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to probe the illegal transport of people who have not been tested for the coronavirus into the capital region and nearby provinces.
“I’ll direct the NBI to look into these alleged incidents of ‘human smuggling’ and conduct a full-blown investigation if there is any indication that the practice is widespread,” Mr. Guevarra said in a Viber group message.
Transport Secretary Arthur P. Tugade earlier called on law enforcers and local governments to help end the “COVID-19 smuggling” involving trucking companies and vans that allegedly transport untested people in exchange for cash.
In celebration of the 5th Anniversary of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), HWPL Philippines held an online conference on March 7, 2021 under the theme “Building a Peaceful World through DPCW” to raise awareness about the importance of the DPCW as a basis for a legal framework to achieve sustainable peace in the society.

+ February 15, 2021 CLARK FREEPORT The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has renewed its bid to free more than half a million children who are into child labor.
Lawyer Ma. Karina Trayvilla, director of the Bureau of Workers with Special Concerns, said that while DOLE has yet to receive latest official data on the number of young Filipinos engaged in child labor, the government is nonetheless bent on removing about 630,000 of them from such condition by 2022. We understand that one of the root causes of child labor is poverty, but we are doubling our efforts to eliminate this. We have encountered difficulties in the implementation of the program due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but now we are ready to intensify the profiling of children in the country, Trayvilla said.
