IACAT cites DBM support

- The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - The Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) recently lauded the “all-out support” by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) for the government’s campaign against human trafficking.

In a statement sent to The STAR, Department of Justice (DOJ) Undersecretary Jose Vicente Salazar, IACAT head, said the DBM’s support “further underscores the resolve of the present administration to render the human trafficking menace a fatal blow”.

Salazar issued the statement after the DBM approved in full the DOJ’s request for a P100-million budget for IACAT next year.

He said the DBM’s action is consistent with the recommendation of the Global Trafficking in Persons report released by the US state department on June 19. The GTIP recommended that the Philippines increase funding for anti-trafficking programs of IACAT member agencies to sustain its intensified efforts to pursue and prosecute offenders.
