The Quezon City Government continues to strengthen its efforts to end human trafficking by launching the Quezon City Stops All Forms of Exploitation (QC SAFE) Seal.
Under the program, the city government conducts random inspections on all anti-trafficking measures implemented by businesses and hospitality establishments, such as hotels, inns, and motels.
Establishments that enforce strict protocols to prevent human trafficking and exploitation—including staff training on identifying signs of abuse, stricter check-in rules for minors in hotels, and displaying the Child-Safe Commitment Statement—are certified with the QC Safe Seal.
Businesses that exceed the certification standards may also be granted the QC SAFE Gold Tier, which earns exclusive recognition and promotion in the city government’s official platforms and major events.
Every incident reported will be thoroughly checked and monitored by the local government.
The QC Safe Seal is part of the city’s steadfast commitment to inclusive and rights-based governance, providing QCitizens with a safer place to live.
In 2024, the city recorded 97 human trafficking cases, with minors comprising almost half of the victims.
In 2025, 55 victims were rescued, with 51 of them being children.
As of August 2026, 8 establishments have been awarded the QC SAFE Seal.
- BLKM Cafe

- Citadines Roces Hotel
- Cocoon Boutique Hotel
