I would like to know: (i) is the SEC investigating these concerns; (ii) does the SEC have power to reprimand a lending company if they are engaged in violations of RA 8042, as amended or RA 9160, as amended; (iii) will the SEC commit (or has it already committed) to investigating lending companies that conspire with employment agencies for internationally recognized schemes of debt bondage and TIP.
