One of the customers went to the top of the building and was pursued by operations. He was apprehended by the NBI after a few minutes of running and searching. Officials from the spa were not contacted by the authorities.
The spa employees who were arrested denied giving the extra service. Netizens are grumbling about the establishment, according to the NBI. According to reports, the fee is at least P3,600 per woman. Clients will not be able to enter without making a reservation, he added.
