                    [Summary] => 



Smarting from criticism by local and foreign agencies that it isn’t working hard enough to stop human trafficking, Malacañang vowed yesterday to make arrests and convictions of human traffickers soon.


Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said in a statement that arresting and prosecuting human traffickers could not be done immediately because Republic Act 9208, the law criminalizing human trafficking, was only enacted in 2003.

Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Scott Bellard said the US government continues to support the Philippine government, but on a "state-to-state" level.


Bellard made the statement in response to a question the other day on whether the US government still supported Mrs. Arroyo amid the political setbacks facing her administration, the worst crisis of her four-year-old presidency.

This was underscored by Scott Bellard, acting deputy chief of mission of the US Embassy in Manila, who recently visited this city and barangays in North Cotabato to inaugurate strategic infrastructure projects and turn over computer facilities, all of which are intended to boost productivity in the countryside and underscore the economic benefits of peace.
