01:28The Philippine government's commitment to protect Filipinos abroad remains.
01:32This successful operation was supported by the Philippines as a gold standard in the Migration Protection Mechanism
01:39To ensure that the overseas Filipinos, particularly those identified as alleged victims of human trafficking,
01:45receive the immediate support and assistance they need.
01:50The DSWD ensured that the rescued Filipinos will receive psychosocial interventions and other financial assistance
