Cop chief denies sex slave camp in Angeles
By Reynaldo G. Navales
ANGELES CITY -- Police Chief Sonny Cunanan said there is no truth to reports that a prostitution slave camp exists in Angeles City.
In his letter to Sun.Star Pampanga, Cunanan said: "Be informed that this office (Angeles City Police Office) strongly disclaimed any illegal activity such as a slave camp within Angeles City."

He said the Women's and Children's Concerned Section (WCCS) and other agencies of the Angeles City Government that are responsible for the regular inspection of different bars and nightclubs have no records about the existence of a sex slave camp in the city.
He, however, stated that Angeles intelligence policemen, in coordination with other counterparts, were directed to look into the veracity of the report and file necessary charges against the operators of the illegal activities if these really exist.
Sun.Star Pampanga reported that a petition against a so-called prostitution slave camp run by foreign gangs in the city has been circulating in the Internet, saying the operation has been raking in about US$100 million per month.
The petition can be accessed through the Google search engine by typing "Angeles Philippines".
The petition stated that Filipino girls are forced to work up to 20 hours a day to service an average of 100 customers a week by operators of the slave camps.
The petition is urging the government to put a stop to the camps allegedly being operated by the Vorskii Mir, which means "The World of Criminals."
It cited that the Vorskii Mir has strong connections with known international syndicates such as the Japanese Yakuza, Chinese Triads, KLA and Sicilian Mafia.
The petition also revealed that the gangs control prostitution, drugs, extortion, gun running, pedophile movies, kidnap and other criminal activities in the city.
A certain Susan Bryce wrote the worldwide petition, exposing the horrors of the slave camps in Angeles City. About 2,013 persons have already signed the petition on the Internet. (Sun.Star Pampanga/Sunnex)
