Ronaldo Lumactod identified the suspect as Catherine Tandas, Aklan&#8217;s top 9 most wanted person. She was arrested in Barangay Tangos on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Tandas is the subject of a warrant of arrest issued by the Kalibo Regional Trial Court Branch 7 in January 2018 for charges of human trafficking with no bail recommended.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PNP AKG proved once again that the long arms of the law still exist. It was the group&#8217;s vast experience in dealing with criminality that made things possible,\u201d Lumactod said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the modus operandi of the suspect started in 2015 where she lures her victims from President Roxas, Capiz, and Iloilo province with a promise that they would get legitimate jobs. However, the victims allegedly were brought to beerhouses where they ended up as sex slaves.<\/p>\n<p>Tandas was brought to the AKG office in Camp Crame for booking procedures and interrogation prior to her turnover to the court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0\u2013 A woman included in the most wanted persons&#8217; list in Aklan was arrested in Navotas City, the Philippine National &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":271214,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-271213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-christopher-lloyd-caliwan","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271213"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271213\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":271215,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271213\/revisions\/271215"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
