A female kidnapper has revealed sickening details of how gangs abduct children in the Philippines to sell to foreign pedophiles - with bonuses for how pretty they are.
Lilibeth Bustamante was caught trying to walk away with a ten-year-old girl in Paranaque City on February 20.
She was playing in front of her house when Bustamante took her by the arm and told her to come with her to the store, but a neighbor intervened when he noticed the girl asking for help.
While under interrogation, Bustamante revealed how the gangs operate - giving a chilling insight into just how many youngsters are kidnapped from the Philippines to be sold as child sex slaves.

Bustamante added: 'I only take them, they sell. They only give me one thousand pesos. I send it to my family in Mindoro.'
In an interview with local media, she then revealed how her group would kidnap young boys and girls to sell to foreign 'buyers', who would rape them while streaming it online and charging pedophiles to watch.
Bustamante (pictured) said she is paid around £15 per child and is set a quota of two children per week by the gang she works for
'They require us to take good-looking children. They get 70,000 to 100,000 pesos (£1,020 to £1,455) depending on their looks. My cut is 1,000 pesos.'
Bustamante said that she had taken dozens of children since she joined the gang last year. She added: 'We operate in Manila and nearby towns. We don't stop until we reach our quota.'
The Parañaque Police Women and Children Protection Desk OIC Rudy Dimson said: 'We are currently investigating the case. We want to look for other victims of this group. We urge the parents with missing children to come here.'
The arrest gives a disturbing insight into the widespread problem of child kidnapping in the Philippines.
