The National Bureau of Investigation–Human Trafficking Division (NBI-HTRAD) arrested three (3) individuals and rescued fifteen (15) victims in an operation conducted against an alleged illegal surrogacy agency in Porac, Pampanga.

The operation stemmed from a complaint filed by a former surrogate mother against House of Surrogacy PH (HOS PH). The complainant alleged that HOS PH recruits financially disadvantaged women to bear children for intended parents (IPs) under deceptive agreements, for the purpose of exploitation. According to the complaint, these women were paid to carry pregnancies and surrender custody upon birth to prospective adoptive parents.

Acting on the complaint, NBI-HTRAD conducted verification with the Department of Health, which confirmed that HOS PH is is neither licensed nor accredited as a healthcare facility. Coordination was likewise made with the NBI-Central Luzon Regional Office (NBI-CELRO) and the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) of Porac, Pampanga.

As we commemorate the 128th Philippine Independence Day, we are reminded that independence is not only the freedom we won as a nation. It is also the freedom we must continually secure for every Filipino, especially those who continue to face barriers due to discrimination, inequality, and unequal access to opportunities.

Our pursuit of a truly independent Philippines recognizes that freedom is meaningful only when it is experienced by all. For women and girls, this means being able to live free from violence and discrimination, participate fully in society, and enjoy equal opportunities to learn, lead, work, and thrive.

This journey is not new. In pre-colonial Philippine societies, women exercised leadership, influence, and authority in many aspects of community life. The Babaylans—spiritual leaders, healers, and keepers of knowledge—were deeply respected for their wisdom and service.

But this history was disrupted. Centuries of colonial rule did not only reshape governance and institutions—it also reshaped social norms that defined women’s place in society until now. It diminished spaces of women’s authority and reinforced ideas of dependence and subordination. These were not neutral shifts in history; they created systems of inequality whose effects continue to echo across generations and remain barriers to the full realization of gender equality.
