MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Jejomar Binay is confident that the Philippines can soon get a Tier 1 rating in the global campaign against human trafficking. In his speech at the 5th Social Watch Global Assembly last Tuesday, Binay said, "The country’s modest achievements allow us to believe that we could achieve Tier 1 status at the soonest possible time." The Philippines had recently been removed from the human trafficking watch list and upgraded to Tier 2 status by the US State Department. |
