THEY are now convicted human traffickers and child abusers, the two sisters Gabriela Adilyn and Roxanne Martirez from Subic, Zambales. They will serve three life sentences each in prison, deprived of family, home, children, comfort and a productive life. They are intelligent people. They knew right from wrong, but they chose to do evil, to seduce and groom and train five young teenage girls and 14 young girls over 18 to be sex workers. They made them believe that by selling themselves to sex tourists, they would have an exciting well-paid life.
