231 Chinese citizens were rescued!

According to the Philippine media reports on the 18th, the Philippine Police launched an operation in Anghles, Bangya Province on the 17th to rescue 231 Chinese from two institutions.

It is reported that on the 17th, the Anchlez city police rescued 41 Chinese citizens from a local offshore network gaming company and 190 Chinese people were rescued at a hotel in Clark Liberty Port. On the 13th, the police rescued 43 Chinese citizens at the above -mentioned offshore gaming company.

The Philippine Minister of the Interior Avaros led the operation of shutting down the gaming company on the 17th because the license of this gaming company was found to have expired. He said that the Ministry of the Interior will continue to strengthen the actions of cracking down on various criminals with the Philippine National Police. The Philippine police said that the rescued Chinese citizens will be thoroughly inspected by the Immigration Bureau to ensure that they are in a good state. According to the "Filipino Daily Inquiry" reported on the 18th, the rescued Chinese people said they could contact their families in China, but some of them had no passports. They will be detained by the Immigration Department to confirm their immigration status.

Avaros said at a press conference on the 17th that the Philippine officials will launch follow -up operations to find other Chinese citizens who have "slavered" in population trafficking. Avaros said he had sought help from the Chinese Embassy. He said that the Chinese government will provide Chinese citizens currently working in the Philippines to help the Philippines find missing Chinese citizens.

On the 17th, Zhou Zhiyong, the temporary office of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines, met with Avaros, and further strengthened law enforcement cooperation on China and the Philippines to further strengthen crimes involving Chinese citizens' abduction, illegal detention, and sale of population. Zhou Zhiyong said that the Chinese government attaches great importance to the safety of every overseas Chinese citizen and appreciates the Philippine government and law enforcement agencies in close communication and cooperation with China in the near future, and jointly take effective measures to severely crack down on serious crimes such as abduction and extortion against Chinese citizens in the Philippines. Avaros said that the Philippine police attached great importance to these cases, combined with other law enforcement departments, quickly took action, continuously cracked several cases, successfully rescued a number of Chinese citizens, and arrested the suspects. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines has been vigorously assisted in this process. In the next step, the Philippines and local government affairs department will continue to carry out law enforcement cooperation with China to eliminate the criminal soil.
