    Details, details, details. Why be so picky? She would have got hold of it soon enough, if you had paid her!

    You should have shown more faith in her, then she would have brought you in for the really good stuff....

    Here is something that will make Gwen Garcia very happy.

    (That's rather weird, incidentally - the Rappler story is about human trafficking and the link is labelled "drug trafficking". )

    This looks, from the report, like an ordinary arrest for matchmaking; no suggestion that innocent girls were being trafficked into a Fate Worse Than Death overseas:.

    "The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC), which supported the police operation, said in a statement that the suspects are now detained at the Guadalupe Police Station. They face charges of violating the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012.

    The PAOCC said the police seized gadgets including 35 computer sets and accessories, a Macbook Air laptop, an iPad, Samsung Galax Note II, Canon and Sony cameras.

    Police also seized a bundle of documents, and cash amounting to P168,500."

    Have to be weary of things like that as it doesn't actually speak of any "charges". At a guess its probably the skimming of foreigners money more than anything else. As I can't understand what else he would be doing as they didn't list it as a cyber den (I am sure if it was they would be quick off the mark to do so!).

    Skimming foreigners' money is a national pastime.

    Sometimes called long nose tax
