(Manila) – Leaders from various churches
across the country are joining the fight to end human trafficking, which they
claim victimizes 300,000 Filipinos. The Philippine Interfaith Movement Against
Human Trafficking wishes to coordinate programs and share resources at the
grassroots level to combat trafficking. ““The religious leaders can really
help a lot in educating our people and raising their awareness about this
problem. Our country now is being burned by this issue which is not that common
to the public. It will bring down our morality if we will still remain
uneducated on the issue and will not find a solution to it,” Manila Auxiliary
Bishop Broderick Pabillo said.” Pabillo also says that one of the goals of the
interfaith group is to strengthen human trafficking rehabilitation programs and
bring hope to victims.
