Police said the service was at least P4,500 but no massage happening. The “Pleasure Massage” website is no longer accessible. Police said customers booked massage services from a now-inaccessible website.
The women were then brought to a predetermined location to meet with the customers. Based on the report, last January, the WCPC reported the alleged pimping but it was difficult for them to track it down because the group assured the client.
An alias “Bea” who according to the police acts as a collector of earned money and an alias “Rodel” who was in charge of booking the victims were arrested. The raid unit found a blackboard listing the names of the women and their service.
“Bea” and “Rodel” will face charges of violating the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act. The 13 victims, who will be transferred to the care of social workers, were subjected to debriefing and counseling.
