Cruz said one of the forfeited properties in Pasay is being used by the Department of Social Welfare and Development to house rescued victims, and a floor of another property was converted into a jail due to a shortage of detention facilities at the Bureau of Immigration. Cruz suggested that the raided hub in Porac, Pampanga could be repurposed into a school, given the presence of boarding houses in the area.
