DW reports that Destiny Rescue's Olongapo operation involved informants who allegedly abused minors during the undercover effort.
The investigation details a poolside raid at a luxury resort where two men allegedly paid for sex with girls identified by informants.
Survivors and staff described a breach in rescue protocol and questioned the role of informants in the operation.
A 2023 study cited by the report estimates nearly half a million Filipino children are exploited in sex trafficking.
The Philippine authorities reportedly relied on rescue groups like Destiny Rescue due to budget constraints in law enforcement.
Two Destiny Rescue managers were cleared by a prosecutor, who found the informants probably guilty for use of a trafficked person.
Only one person connected to the operation was prosecuted, a 20-year-old woman convicted of trafficking and sentenced to life in prison.
Destiny Rescue management acknowledged a 'breach in rescue protocol' in a confidential letter reviewed by DW.
The report includes conflicting statements from Destiny Rescue regarding accountability and the role of informants.
DW investigators spoke with survivors, law enforcement officials, and experts to map how rescue missions can expose children to risk.
