Prescriptive Period
Trafficking cases can be filed within 10 years after they are
committed. If trafficking is committed by a syndicate or on a large
scale, cases can be filed within 20 years after the commission of the
act. The so-called “prescriptive period” is counted from the day the
trafficked person is delivered or released from the conditions of
bondage.
In the case of a child victim, the prescriptive period starts from the day
the child reaches the age of majority.
Temporary Custody of Trafficked Victims is also now provided
under RA 10364 – rescue of trafficked persons should be under the
assistance of DSWD or any accredited NGO that services trafficked
victims.
