When a disaster strikes, young girls who come from good families—sheltered, vulnerable—would become orphans. Depraved men—and women—from the underworld, otherwise known as human traffickers, would circle them like vultures.

The Philippines has just experienced a disaster and no one knows who is looking after the orphaned children.
