TULUYAN nang nakabalik sa Pilipinas ang 13 buntis na Pinay na nahatulan sa Cambodia ng human trafficking dahil sa illegal surrogacy.
Sa isang pahayag ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), nakauwi sa bansa ang 13 sentensyadong Pinay babymaker matapos gawaran ng royal pardon ni Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni noong Disyembre 26.
“Upon the request of the Philippine Embassy and with the endorsement of the Royal Government of Cambodia, the Royal Decree pardoning all 13 Filipinos paved the way for their release and immediate repatriation,” saad ng DFA.
Sa 13 babymaker, tatlo na ang nakapagsilang na ng sanggol.
“Tatlo nanganak na, dala nila ‘yung sanggol nila, one of the women is actually 37 weeks pregnant. So malapit na. So we had to bring a medical attendant as we required by PAL,” wika ni DFA Undersecretary Eduardo De Vega.
Kasalukuyang nasa temporary shelter ng Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) ang mga Pinay babymakers na pinangangalagaan ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)
“Other needed intervention such as counseling services will be provided during assessment by the assigned social worker in the Center and Residential Care Facility,” ayon kay Social Welfare Assistant Secretary Elaine Fallarcuna
“While the surrogate mothers are in temporary shelter, the DSWD will help them communicate with their families for their reintegration,” aniya pa.
