interview with Edwin Canilang

1. how has life been after you escaped from the traffickers?
"much better. I have a home and a job, and things are looking up."

2. do you ever think back to the people you were there with? do you keep in contact?
"we have not stayed in contact, as we all went our separate ways after we were freed. I do however worry about the people still caught in the web of slave labour"

3. what are your plans for the future?
"I want to continue working here in Canada, hopefully start a family and settle permanently."

4. what would be your advice to others to avoid being sold by human traffickers?
"never give away your passport or identification papers, and if someone tells you something that sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
