NBI-10 regional director Patricio Bernales Jr. said the foreigners would be facing cases of child abuse and trafficking in persons for allegedly being with 10 females, six of them minors, inside the hotel, once the City Prosecutors Office issues its resolution. Based on the documents, Shen and Li were tourists staying at the same hotel where the incident happened, Bernales said. “No need for the suspects to cooperate (with the NBI) as we will file the cases against them,” Bernales said. But Paña identified two of the victims among those rescued by authorities in a raid on an inn last year. As of this writing, the alleged pimps and the Chinese nationals refused to give a statement to the media while in custody of the NBI-10 regional office here.
