2 Boholano Minor Gilrs Rescued at Cagayan de Oro Pier

What could be an unwitting trafficking of two minors from the town of Danao recruited for alleged employment in Cagayan de Oro City was aborted when one of the supposed victims became hysterical and refused to disembark- which caught the attention of the port police.

The minor girls identified as Maribel and Sheila, both aged 15 and neighbors in the adjacent barangays San Jose and Buenavista in the town of Danao, were reportedly recruited by one Jaime Buslon-driver of DepEd-Bohol.

Maribel claimed that Buslon forced them to board the boat bound for CDO, as they expected to be hired for an employment in Bohol only and they were, therefore,surprised that they have been brought to Tagbilaran por,instead..

They left Tagbilaran port Monday night last week, but were held at the port of CDO after authorities learned that they did not personally know the person who would meet them, though they already communicated through cellphone with someone named Marites, who was their supposed employer.

Since Marites was attending to some things in the city then, he sent her brother to meet the girls, but the port police also held her brother upon learning that the girls were minors, especially that Sheila refused to disembark that raised suspicions that they may have been victims of child trafficking.

So they were sent back to Tagbilaran and were back here on Wednesday.

Authorities in CDO coordinated with the port police in Tagbilaran and the Office of the Provincial Social Welfare and Development here.

Upon arriving Tagbilaran, they were immediately brought to the OPSWD for a sort of debriefing that would be useful in the investigation on the incident.

Buslon, 30, who had been a driver of DepEd-Bohol for almost four years already, admitted he used the government vehicle in fetching the girls at Dao integrated bus terminal after bringing home the DepEd officials, including the assistant provincial schools division superintendent, who attended the turn-over ceremony for a school building in Loay.

He went straight to the bus terminal since it was already dark and he preferred not to use his motorcycle to avoid violating the helmet law.

Buslon sent off the girls at Tagbilaran port on Monday night and said it was only then that she learned that Sheila is pregnant when she mentioned about her monthly pre-natal.

Buslon, however, denied forcing the girls to board the boat, saying they had all agreed on the trip since Saturday yet..

He said he came to know Maribel when she used to work as babysitter in barangay Agape, Loboc which is near her place.

Maribel was receiving a monthly salary of P2,000 then, the same amount that they would be receiving as starting salary in Cagayan de Oro City for the same job-babysitting.

However, she thought the offer for the supposed new job was P2,500 a month, or just a difference of P500.

Buslon said Maribel, who is also his cousin's friend, used to tell him that she wanted to find another job.

That's why when she left her work in barangay Agape, they communicated through cellphone and she asked him if he knew of somebody who was looking for a helper because she does not want to be idle at home.

So on November 19, they finalized everything and arranged for her trip to CDO together with Sheila.

Buslon explained that he was merely trying to help and meant no bad intention.

He even said that the parents of the girls agreed to the arrangement.

For her part, the supposed employer-Marites Alpa-said Buslon, indeed, recommended the girls and arranged with her regarding their employment just like his cousins who are now working for her in CDO.

However, Alpa said she had no idea that the girls are minors and never expected it to put her brother in bad light when he supposedly met the girls at the port of CDO.
