Bureau of Immigration (BI) officers have stopped two Filipinas from going to Dubai at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for allegedly using fake exit stamps given to them by a human trafficking group.

BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said the victims, whose names were withheld for their protection, were supposed to board a Cebu Pacific flight when intercepted.

The women disguised themselves as tourists, but later admitted that they were leaving the country to work as household service workers.

They said a member of trafficked syndicate furnished them with already stamped passports and boarding passes prior to heading to the departure area.

The victims were directed to wait for escorts but when they got to the departure area, nobody showed up and they could no longer contact the man who handed them their passports.

They said a certain "Regine" and "Onday" offered the Dubai job whom they met only through Facebook.

Tansingco warned the public to be vigilant about online labor recruitment.

The victims were turned over to the Inter-Agency Against Trafficking
(IACAT) for assistance in filing cases against their recruiters.
