There are a few people that I really admire. Most because of their courage like Christiane Amanpour, Jessica Soho? (Yes, she went to Afghanistan to cover those land mines. Winner ka!) Sydney Schanberg and Dith Pran. These people have one thing in common - they risks everything so people like us would know what is really happening…
Have you seen the award-winning film “The Killing Fields”, OMG! Everytime I would see this film I would burst into tears… Ah the film is about harrowing tales of enslavement and even escape from that brutal Khmer Rouge revolutionaries in 1979. - Was portrayed in the movie by first-time actor Haing S. Ngor (Dith Pran), who won an academy award for best supporting actor for his performance. (Eh hello! Dambahin mo ba naman si Sydney ng muli kayong magkita? Winner!!!)
Dith Pran will always remind me of a special category of journalistic heroism… Who shares little of the glory and who risks so much more than I/YOU do.
In his memory I will be watching Killing Fields later tonight… May your soul rest in peace Dith Pran.
LOVE and PEACE!

The trafficking of human beings is the recruitment, transportation, harboring, or receipt of people for the purpose of exploitation. It is estimated to be a $5 to $9 billion-a-year industry.
Exploitation includes forcing people into prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery. Once the victim is already in America they are forced to do what their captors want them to do.
The trafficking victim is enslaved, or the terms of their debt bondage are fraudulent or highly exploitative. The trafficker takes away the basic human rights of the victim. The victims doesn’t have any choice, if they don’t do what these people want them to do, then their life is threathend or their family’s life back home.
Most of the victims are tricked and lured by false promises. They are even physically forced. Some traffickers use coercive and manipulative tactics including deception, intimidation, feigned love, isolation, threat and use of physical force, debt bondage, other abuse, or even force-feeding with drugs to control their victims.
