Human trafficking is a major problem in the Philippines. From regular prostitution to online child pornography to OFW's being duped by illegal recruiters people in the Philippines are a commodity to be used, abused, and tossed away like so much trash. Add massage parlours to that matrix of young ladies caught up in prostitution.

Police arrested the alleged manager and cashier of a massage parlor, which operates two branches in Barangay Mabolo and Barangay Cogon Ramos here, after two separate raids were conducted on Saturday evening, December 14.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Erlinda Mayam, head of the Women and Children’s Protection Desk (WCPD) of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO), said the raids also led to the rescue of 13 massage therapists from the two branches.
Mayam said they received reports that the two branches of the massage parlor provide “extra service” to its clients.
Extra service pertains to sexual services provided by the masseuse to the client. It often involves a higher amount of payment on the part of the client.
This raid is actually just the latest in a regular trend of raids on massage parlours.

Massage parlours are all over the place in the Philippines. It seems there is one on every corner. Some spas even offer home service.
 |
It's the perfect cover for prostitution. It's the perfect cover for trafficking in people, males and females. With the many spas who openly flaunt the law the only thing the cops can do is keep an eye out and raid a place when it turns out to be not legit. As long as Filipinos are willing to sell out their fellow man the PNP will have their hands full.
