A woman has been sentenced in the Philippines to life in prison for human trafficking after being convicted of pimping out four females, including a 15-year-old girl, for sexual services in 2016.
On August 17, 2016, Lilibeth Oligo, also known as “Ate Joan,” was arrested in San Pedro, Laguna province, after she offered to sell the “sexual services” of four women to a man who was an undercover police officer, for 1,000 pesos (US$19) each, according to a report by the Philippines Lifestyle News.
Several months later, the minor victim committed suicide at a shelter of a non-profit organization.
Oligo was charged with human trafficking but she pleaded not guilty in a court hearing.
One of the four victims, 29, told the court that it was not the first time they had been pimped out by the defendant. She said she needed money to feed her children, GMA News reported.
On March 16 this year, Oligo was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of qualified trafficking in persons, as defined and penalized under the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012. She was engaged in sexual exploitation of her four victims in exchange for financial gain, said the court.
On Monday, Oligo was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to compensate each of the three victims and the heirs of the minor 600,000 pesos in moral and exemplary damages.

Rome statute, Paris accord, are all hypocrite organizations created by control freaks to CONTROL other nations
Good decision to be out of the ICC we are in a sovereign country so we have our own n not be manipulated by another country..
This is a kind of President we need. Strong and determined. Why we listened to an organization funded by foreign personalities that takes our country into negative effect to the world. Atin ang bansang ito at dapat lang na walang makialam na dayuhan. Pinatunayan lang ng ating pangulo na hindi tayo tuta ng mga dayuhang naghahari harian ,na sa tingin nila ay mas nakakabuti sa ating lahat. Mabuhay ka Pdu30

Ang consulate natin d2 sa dubai ay ang bayad lng natin sa kanila ang inaabangan. Pero pag tayo na ang nangailangan.. suntok sa buwan!! Dapat alisin ang mga kawaning ganyan.. ano pa ang saysay nila d2 kung hindi nila kayang gampanan ang kanilang tunkulin sa mamayang pilipino? Alalahanin nila na ang sweldo nila ay mula sa mga nagtatrabaho d2
Pimping of young and adult both men and women in Philippines is indeed a parts of traditional revenue of the govt., since Japanese occupation. The govt., pimped young men and women in Japan on early 80’s and called it JAPAYUKI. Then BRUNEI YUKI etc., now this news, IS NO LONGER A SURPRISING OR SHOCKING NEWS BUT INDEED A COMMON SCENE IN PHILIPPINES.
This happens in the Philippines
