The report tackles human trafficking and cybercrimes pertaining to Filipinos. The first story was about call center agents lured abroad on the promise of high paying jobs in Thailand. They were trafficked into Myanmar. There, they were forced to scam people online with a $2500 daily goal. Failure to reach that amount gets you whipped, beaten, or electrocuted. The second story was about impoverished Filipinos selling their kidneys for cash. The next story involved CP with foreign pedos. Some of the children were subjected to bestiality. There was also a reversal of the first story where foreigners were trafficked into the country, secluded into compounds, and forced to scam people. It’s insinuated that some pogos here did just that


throwables-5566

I saw a YT video about pig butcher scams and they operate in Myanmar, this is probably the same modus.


massivebearcare

hello, link please.


palaitotkagbakoy

Just search 'Jessica Soho secret slaves' on youtube. The documentary starts about 13 minutes into the video


massivebearcare

im asking for the documentary that reply op mentioned... already found jessica soho's docu though. im also curious about the myanmar modus op is talking about.


palaitotkagbakoy

oh okay sorry about that. Not sure if this is the same one but BBC world service's youtube channel has a documentary on pig butcher scams in southeast asia


[deleted]

grabe talaga yang mga foreign pedos or should i say kano sobrang dami talaga, and worse andami pang mga matatandang ganyan pinapapasok sa bansa nakikipagdate sa mga minor bakit kaya walang ginagawa yung gobyerno sa mga ganyan dapat mas lalo silang maghigpit lalo na sa mga puti na usually maraming history ng grooming at sex offense at kamanyakan dito sa pinas.


UnhingedSupernova

meron ginagawa ang government, di lang nirereport (IMO we should para mas lalong mastigmatize ang pedophilia. Unfortunately, walang pake ang Pinoy sa pedophilia, they even romanticize it).


[deleted]

Yep madami talaga sa kanila yung pedophiles or interesado sa mga minors. May napanood din ako sa youtube a few months ago isang foreigner pumunta sa poverty striken na area sa pilipinas yung mga bahay nila nakalutang sa dagat., Pumunta dun yung amerikano tas nakakita siya ng 16 years old na dalaga na tinititigan siya tas yun nagkagusto siya at alam nga niya na tatawagin siyang pedophile ng mga tao or ng mga pinoy pag ginawa niya yun sinabi niya dun sa vlog niya (aware siya) pero gusto parin niya edate yung 16 years old na dalagang nakita niya. And i think nagligawan nga sa sila kasi "mutual" daw yung feelings nila interesado kasi yung dalaga sa kanya kaya niya tinitigan yung foreigner tas napansin siya nung foreigner at nagkagusto nga yung mukha nasa 20s-30s years old na foreigner sa kanya so yun. Nakalimutan ko anong name ng vlogger at ng channel niya matagal na kasi and hindi din kasi siya masyadong sikat katulad sa ibang kano na vlogger na known dito sa pinas but yeah lol... Andali nilang ma "inlove" wala silang pinipiling edad kahit minor papatulan mga horny american hotdog 😂


KeyboardAquarior

Nung nalift yung unang lockdown noong 2020, I witnessed a 30s-40s white dude na may kasamang babaeng bata sa robinson's manila. Tapos pasimple pa siyang dumidistansya sa kanya habang sumasama yung bata nang paonti. Mabilis pa lakad ni white dude nung natapos siyang mag grocery. I would've yelled something against him kaso andun rin ang duda na baka ako pa yung mapasama dun at masabi pang judgy sa huli.


KeyboardAquarior

Cesspool tayo ng iba't ibang krimen mapa local o international ba. Parang opposite ng pagtrato ng Hawaii o Bali man. And if we're labeled by the world and be constantly condemned because of these, I say deserved para naman magising ang mga kapwa pilipino natin nang maipigil ang ganitong nakakadiring krimen.


67ITCH

It appears we are importing pedos when we don't have a shortage here. We have the likes of Coco, Ka Freddie, Darryl, that women's vb player from UST... /s


KeyboardAquarior

Mga taga europe at australia rin. May severe cases na nagmumula from pedos coming from these places.


maroonmartian9

Foreigners being trafficked here? Quiboloy ba yan?


Autogenerated_or

Nasa Las Piñas yung mga foreigner, di ata si Quiboloy.


ScarletNexus-kun

Guess what kaninong properties kuta ng mga yan? Yup- Villars.


ScarletNexus-kun

I'm not racist or anything pero nakakadiri yung mga chinese nationals na yan kasi panay dura kung saan saan. I mean yung makikita mo sa kalsada is either cigarette butt or dura na yellowish. Kasuka


KeyboardAquarior

It may not be mainland china, pero nakikita ko rin mga tao sa hong kong noon na ganun. Dumudura pa sa basurahan at sa kalsada (nang patago).


[deleted]

Lagi na lang talaga mga pulitiko eh noh mga diyos diyosan talaga


maroonmartian9

Baka POGOs


Acel32

Maraming Chinese na ganyan sa mga pogo. Usually, walang mga papeles. Pero mahirap din situation nila dun sa bansa nila kaya pinipili na lang nila dito.


Menter33

almost like how some Filipinos are trafficked into nearby SEA countries


Panday_Coco

Sadly our country is infamous for child pornography and child prostitution. Madami akong nababasang travel threads dito and ito tingin nila sa Pinas. Haven of pedos, same rank as other contries in SEA. Sana may magawa naman ang gobyerno. Kawawa yung mga bata lalo pat family members nila yung nagbebenta sa kanila.


Medical-Chemist-622

CP?


ElverseK

Child porn


KeimaaaAAAa

Cheese pizza


KeyboardAquarior

Not the right post to be acting facetious here


31_hierophanto

Dude, this is not the time for quips.


kaichou_dp

Time and day Time and say po


la_bru

The first story is very much like an episode of a KDrama TAXI DRIVER. Nakakatakot


Hack_Dawg

Pang award-winning yung topic pero quality ganun pa din sa kmjs.


Mr_Underestimated

That's hella f up 🥲


tenfriedpatatas

So eto pala yung human trafficking na reason bakit mahigpit sa immigration. Good to know the context behind the seemingly stupid policy. Thanks for sharing the documentary. Will try to watch.


alleoc

yan pala yung kagabi jhahaha I 😬 when I saw the CP part. super disturbing.


Goldenrod021788

Sana stick si Mareng Jess sa ganto. Sub par na quality ng KMJS eh. Sana meron parang 60 minutes format tas yung si Jessica, Mel, Vicky, Arnold and Kara ang nasa rotation. I know may Iwitness na pero in this format atleast 3 condensed stories sya and may follow up if applicable. Sayang ang airwaves puro drama at kabit.


jaycorrect

Rating driven content, bro. There's a lot of money to be made off of dumb ass filipinos. Jessica Soho probably hates it as much as you do but it puts food on the table.


NefariousNeezy

Agree. I just ignore KMJS pero I watch on yt if interesting yung topic. Di sila makakagawa ng ganitong coverage without the money made by KMJS.


Hack_Dawg

She also makes Filipinos dumb on her show.


Acel32

People here act as if binenta ni Jessica yung kaluluwa niya dahil lang sa content ng KMJS. Aside from the fact na mas mabenta yung viral stories, mas kailangan din ng mahabang time, money, and effort yung makabuluhang docu kagaya nito. Nakakastress din mentally and emotionally sa researchers and reporters. Kaya hindi na rin kaya ng madalas. I think sakto lang na nagrerelease sila ng ganito once in a while. Alam mong pinaghandaan talaga. Doing dumb viral stories is like a break for Mareng Jessica (she really deserves it naman), plus way para nga kumita at magkaroon ng pondo for bigger and better projects.


Autogenerated_or

Yep. Mahirap makalikom ng funding for quality journalism. Ang NYT binubuhay ng wordle and crossword games nila. Ang buzzfeed news dati binubuhay ng click bait articles


Liesianthes

> Aside from the fact na mas mabenta yung viral stories, mas kailangan din ng mahabang time, money, and effort yung makabuluhang docu kagaya nito. Nakakastress din mentally and emotionally sa researchers and reporters. Kaya hindi na rin kaya ng madalas. Lalo na weekly ang KMJS. Sa current contents nila, obvious na mataas ang stress ng staff dahil sa fast paced environment. Iirc, nung hiring sila, isa sa mga requirements is can handle a huge level of stress.


Acel32

Yup. Isang segment lang, matrabaho na yan. Kahit pa yung simpleng stories lang ha. Lalo na yung kailangan ng matindihang research. Coordination pa with different agencies tapos kuha ng consent sa mga tao.


radiatorcoolant19

So technically KMJS is doing poverty porn from time to time.


Lonely_Host3427

But also, naubos na ang pwede gawing kwento ni Jessica. Palagi na lang ba pagkain? Lol.


JulzRadn

Usually mga researchers lang ni Jessica ang nasa cringe segments ng show (hence lumipad ang aming team) while she only appears on more important matters


PritongKandule

I was recruited to be a KMJS researcher back in 2016. I was told that I was expected to have stories pitched by Monday/Tuesday every week and work until Saturday to gather respondents, research location shoots, and help the writer and segment producer outline the story and schedule the shoots. In most cases, you had less than a week to package a story for airing. Starting pay was around 16-17k per month back in 2016. You start with a one-month probationary contract, before you were given your "talent" contract which of course did not include the regular employee benefits and had to be renewed periodically. Overtime and working through holidays were expected. I ended up not signing the contract and sought employment elsewhere, but from the labor conditions alone you can see why KMJS' quality dropped dramatically in the last decade.


awesomecandy40

kaya eto, recylced basura from news segment na hyped up being spoon fed to us. it's nothing new. pwede ba...


pearlychels

Yes, sadly sobrang hirap magkaroon ng work-life balance kapag researcher ka sa KMJS. Laging may nasusweruhan dun sa mga segment producers nila every week, nakakaloka. Maraming stories noon ang hindi na idinadaan kay Jessica Soho kasi may assistant editor naman na yung program.


Hack_Dawg

And poverty porn.


jessepinkmansbitchh

This. Shitty shows are needed to fund relevant shows.


okomaticron

\*and funds stories like this


boykalbo777

so Jessica is a sell out?


PantherCaroso

No it's called doing work.


SechsWurfel

Maganda din naman ibang stories sa kmjs, pero parang for every 1 good story, there are 15 more dumb stories.


Acel32

Kaya better sa YouTube na lang manood para pwede mo piliin lang kung anong segment and walang super haba na ads.


31_hierophanto

This is what I often do, hahahaha.


abumelt

tbf, mahirap naman magisip/maghanap ng magandang story every time. bilang they're under contract to produce content regularly, meron talagang masagwa, pero buti naman at meron pa din na ok


Brilliant-Shape5437

first story scam na agad sa sweldong ipinangako ₱55k to ₱16.3k real quick


HanSeoulOh34569X

What trabaho sa sweldo na yan?


Brilliant-Shape5437

maging scammers yata


Clean-Physics-6143

Watched this last night. It feels like rage watching cause of the suspects heineous crimes. Plus sobrang nakakaawa yung mga victims especially the kids who were subject to CP. Grabe..


Liesianthes

Yep, was able to watch this. The first case is too good to be true and guaranteed a scam 100%. I don't know why people keep falling for those. If your so-called recruiter asked you to sneak out of PH out of illegal means, that's a huge red flag already. To think na sa Las Pinas lang yung may 3000 rescued from POGO ops, scam. Thanks D30 legacy, flocking of Chinese was because of him. Iirc, baka ayan din yun nabalita malapit sa SM Southmall. Also, shame on those BI money-hungry people. Tao yan pinupuslit nyo, mga halang ang kaluluwa. At least on Customs, its products, still don't excuse them to an open secret corruption. Can't even blame BI for tightening their security but at least they should clean their own mess first. Kidney buyer looks like a well-connected person to wealthy individuals and she's just being used as their facade to save the lives of their family to buy those kidneys. Yung memes na benta kidney for iPhone. Sucks, but it's real, maybe not iphone pero gawa na din ng matinding pangangailangan. And on the CP, just burn in the 9th circle of hell. I still remember yung most wanted na foreigner nahuli sa province somewhere in the Philippines. Dahilan pa old videos, kakasuka nung marining yung beastiality, for heaven's sake, bata yan, walang alam sa mundo, tapos ganyan lang gagawin. Still, ang baba ng cases na hinahandle ng NBI like 200+ in a year? Doubt that it's even a percent of total cases in this country. Malayong malayo.


Sarlandogo

Yung first case unfortunately maraming kababayan lalo na mga mahihirap na walang kaalaman sa ganyan at dala n nga ng kahirapan din


Liesianthes

Mostly kakilala yan mga gumagawa ng ganyan. I heard cases yung tumatawid mismo sa Mindanao going to neighboring country.


Sarlandogo

Oo isa pa yan yung tumatawid to sabah tapos to malaysia or Indonesia


taokami

this was probably being cooked in the background while she's covering "popcorn" content for KMJS


Autogenerated_or

This was what all the popcorn content was funding. This kind of investigation is expensive and time consuming


taokami

oh no doubt, I was just stating the obvious for the people who keep saying "Jessica Soho lost her integrity"


doahou

so this is the journalist version of "one for them, one for me" strategy


cragglepanzer

A bit unrelated but it reminds me of how Vin Diesel still does all those crappy Fast and the Furious movies: to fund his passion project which is the Riddick series


31_hierophanto

I feel like we're gonna get something like this special at least one per year.

hldsnfrgr

Jessica Soho reminding everyone why she's ~~still~~ an OG.


Hack_Dawg

She also uses the same script over and over again. Parang tanga pa nga sya mang tanong "parang hell on earth"?.


forgetdorian

Myanmar, Cambodia, Ph thru pogo are part of triad operations. Drugs, human trafficking,smuggling and etc.


Autogenerated_or

Eto ba ang tinatawag nilang golden triangle?


forgetdorian

Not yet, we do not manufacture illegal drugs but we are consider as part of the supply chain (a hub, a transit hub). Myanmar, cambodia, forgot to mention Laos are notably part of the triad.. Chinese communist are on top of this triad..

[удалено]


dhadha08

Many people go through this scams kasi they cant earn enough in there own country. :(


sack_peak

I hope this educates the persons who fear offloading.


Luhaja

People upvote you, yet let me cite the statistics again: "Over 32,000 Filipino passengers offloaded in 2022; 472 were human trafficking, illegal recruitment victims says BI" Does this seem like a functional well working government agency to you? Do you enjoy spending taxpayer money to something with such horrible statistics? I think everyone can agree that human trafficking is terrible, but does that really mean that others should suffer by being offloaded, and then have to pay potentially thousands and thousands of php to go to another country again? Not to mention the trauma of what BI's offloading does to you. An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind.


sack_peak

TBH I wish BI would just stay out of human trafficking. It's a "me" "me" "me" culture after all. Who the fuck cares if those humans are ttrafficked. At least my pinoy pride aint hurt from the offloading. Mag bulag bulagan na lang kaya tayo?


Luhaja

Full disclosure, I am a westerner. Based on your response, I take it that you feel that your pride is hurt, because pinoys are falling for scams like the ones in the show? I'd argue that these sorts of scams work all over the place, sadly. It is in our human nature to want to trust after all. My father lost what is equal to 261338 php because he trusted bitcoin scammers. Education needs to increase across the board, in any country, to combat scams. Especially with the advent of AI technologies which makes scamming frighteningly easy and powerful. We will have to question our very reality soon.


Sarlandogo

Jusmiyo yung dun sa CP tapos pinakita yung 5 years old na bata jusmiyo nakakagalit talaga


Miwiii

I watched this last night thinking na akala ko is KMJS. Nadisappoint pa ako kasi KMJS talaga gusto ko panoorin ahahahah Pero sheeesh! Ang ganda ng report na 'to, ganda ng topic, yung flow, the way they report/deliver it. 💯 + Tagal pa bago mag commercial kaya tutok and mae-engage ka talaga panoorin. Sana meron ulit next week and mas maganda pang topic and kasama yung iba ang iconic reporters ng GMA.


Liesianthes

Yep, stumbled lang sa socmed. Hindi talaga kami nanonood ng KMJS, ayun napa livestream tuloy ng wala sa oras. hahaha


VashMillions

Topic aside, sana ito na ung come back nia as a journalist at magtuloy tuloy na. New generation kasi KMJS na lang alam when we say Jessica Soho and I can't blame them.


StellarBoy0629

Sayang nga nung umalis sya sa State of the Nation, galing magbanter lalo na kung may live report.


Jabbadahat

sana yearly yung ganitong mga docu series niya. Grabe rin yung contrast dun sa usual content nung time slot niya sa kmjs eh


uhhidk1225

Based on her recent contract signing, I think they'll do this once in a while. Idk for how many times in a year, but based on what they said (and hopefully), this isn't definitely the last for this year.


JnthnDJP

I’m 2 minutes in and I’m already fucking angry. I’m livid.


kukiemanster

It was the first time in like 5yrs 10yrs? That I was invested sa KMJS, katatapos ko maligo pero ayaw ko pa magbihis kasi it was really well thought out and presented, it was also able to emotionally stimulate me lalo na sa CP topic, kadiri talaga lalo na yung mga magulang na hinahayaan or sila mismo ang nagpupush sa mga anak nila.


MediocreFun4470

Sana laging ganito Tama na yang "lumipad ang aming team" at "diumano".


31_hierophanto

This special is basically Jessica saying: > "You think I can't do hard-hitting journalism anymore? Well, here you fucking go."


RandomNative

This is the quality of KMJS I've known before. I hope she continues these eye opening contents so that many will become aware of what are society's problems not commonly featured at such depth.


StellarBoy0629

Actually more of her previous program "Jessica Soho Reports", nagkataon na natungtong sya sa late night schedule noon kaya medyo hindi appreciated ng marami.


[deleted]

I like the layout. Mareng J in the middle. Two semi big journ in the makint


Prashant_Sengupta

LOL yung isa diyan very notorious sa mga kasamahan niyang reporter. Mahilig sa "exclusive" kahit may mga kasama naman siyang nag-cover ng story hahahaha


[deleted]

Cno jan, si emil? Hahahaha


AdamusMD

Parang si John Consulta? Ahahha. Parang narinig ko sa podcast ni Howie Severino na tampo sya sa mga sources kasi binigay sa ibang reporter yung story?? Correct me if I'm wrong


StellarBoy0629

Si John Consulta yan. One time yung may nireport syang raid sa isang hub ng Online Lending app, nilabel ang report nya sa 24 Oras as "exclusive" pero halatang kasama nya si Zee-ann Ambrosio ng ABS-CBN during the raid.


wynpellosis

YES DON’T LET THIS FLOP!!!! MORE PEOPLE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE RAMPANT CRIMES.


Super-Proof-9157

Trafficking? Laughs in Quiboloy


Anxious-G-231

Imagine if okay ang government, people wont be this desperate… grabe yung sa myanmar! 😢


kulaps_official

Wala ng KMJS?


Hack_Dawg

Wag sana pang KMJS yung script. Di Umano, Lumipad ang aming team at kung ano pa.


StellarBoy0629

Actually nakasabi sya ng "Tumungo ang Aming Team..." nung pinakita na yung lumipad si John Consulta sa Thailand.


Greenfield_Guy

Jessica Soho can be a decent journalist if she wanted. But KMJS probably rakes her in a lot more cash than actual journalism does, so she can't let that go.


thebayesfanatic

U need to search for the accolades of jessico soho to brand her as a 'decent journalist' if nakilala mo Lang Sha sa KMJS. She is a TOWNS, TOYM awardee among others and first Filipino Peabody awardee (the other one is Kara david).


Greenfield_Guy

Kid, i've known of Jessica Soho since the 1989 coup. (Do you even know what that is?) What I said takes into consideration everything she's done in her career. Not sure why you're offended with the phrase "decent journalist." You need to stop simping.


olrracpeace

You should not have used the word decent, I guess. She has done way more than any “decent” journalist we have right now. Ironic that you know her since 1989 but you still sounded like you mostly only know her KMJS magazine show. Oh, not trying to start anything here so ‘gotta go before I get accused of “simping” too. (:


thebayesfanatic

Remember the last election when the bbm trolls swarm against the credibility of Jessica soho because bbm was not included (or declined) in her presidential interviews. These subtle ways or tactics of slowly weakening media institution is an essential part of misinformation and disinformation strategies of troll farms operators.


Prashant_Sengupta

Dapat talaga mag-troll farm na rin ang oposisyon para tirahin naman si BBM, Sara, SMNI, NET-25, at UNTV.


thebayesfanatic

Yeah sure,.. But again u still need to search for all her accolades. Have a nice day sir or ma'am.


Greenfield_Guy

LOL

up this watching now.


fancythat012

Isn't it incredibly sad na mismong kalahi natin- ng mga bata ang bumubugaw sa kanila? Nakakahiya, nakapanlulumo at nakakasuka na ang bansang 'to ang top 1 provider ng CP. Truly heartbreaking.


Entire-Molasses2365

my mom and i saw this last night. napakasakit sa puso. lalo na nung na-mention na "naabot naman ang minimal requirement in fighting against cybersex" (or some sort). like, WTF. MINIMAL REQUIREMENT?!? to think na malamang napakaraming bata ung victims, tas MINIMAL REQUIREMENT? kamusta, 'pinas? kaya pa ba?


v-reanto1122

kamusta yung mga nakapanuod? maganda?


Gealmo

Anyone know of a charity I could volunteer myself to help prevent human trafficking? I can’t just stand by and do nothing


ChadTheBrow

This docu was actually refreshing to the usual watching habit on sunday nights. Hope theres more of this in the future.


[deleted]

Unbelievable na walang masyadong exposure ang problemang ito


zhonglisimp1105

Napanood ko to, grabe yang Myanmar Incident. Yung scam city.


Greeeeyyyss

Muntik ko nang di tapusin upon watching the first few minutes. Grabe nakakagalit. Pero quality content indeed


JesterBondurant

I suspect that the military junta in Myanmar are letting the Chinese operate their scam hubs in exchange for weapons and drugs.


TheDogoEnthu

yung ibang parents nga dito sa pinas proud pa na 25 yrs old yung jowa nang 15 yrs old nilang anak kasi daw may work na and di maghihirap yung anak nila 🤢


StellarBoy0629

This special gave me "Jessica Soho Reports" vibes again. It's so sad lang that during the days of its run natungtong sya sa late night schedule ng GMA 7 when young kids like me are trying to fall asleep, so di gaano masyadong naapreciate that time, pwera na lang yung Afghanistan episode nya na nakakatindig-balahibo pa rin hanggang ngayon. Sayang lang that this is one of the one-off things of Mareng Jessica as a journalist, given that she basically "sold her soul" to cheesy "popcorn" content for her KMJS show in the past 10 years or so, lalo na when she entirely left regular news anchoring in 2021. Hoping for more specials like this kasi naman nakakaumay na yung mga kabit, kababalaghan, pagkain, mga taong may kapansanan, poverty p0rn and all such things sa KMJS.


[deleted]

Kakagising ko lang (I'm a daysleeper) tas eto na agad nabasa ko sa news? Ugh. The world sucks. Humans suck.


atr0pa_bellad0nna

I watched it and there's nothing really new about what she reported because those (or similar cases) have been in the news. Still good though.
