Recently in Parañaque City, a Chinese national and his local companion got arrested by police officers for the alleged operation of a prostitution ring within the city, according to a Philippine News Agency (PNA) news article. Take note that this is not the first time that Chinese nationals were involved with prostitution and human trafficking within Parañaque City (click here, here and here).
To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the PNA news report. Some parts in boldface…
A Chinese national and his female cohort were arrested by Southern Police District (SPD) agents for allegedly operating a prostitution ring in Parañaque City, according to a news release on Sunday.
National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief Brig. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez identified the Chinese national as Xiao Ji, and his 48-year-old Filipino companion, Arlene Lapurga Geron.
Police arrested the two while serving a search warrant at SoleMare Parksuites in Barangay Tambo on Saturday.
Police rescued seven Chinese nationals and one Filipino woman during the operation, Nartatez said.
They were victims of human trafficking and sexually exploited before they were distributed to high-end hotels, casinos and clubs in Parañaque, he added.
Another suspect, a Chinese national identified as Lin Wei, managed to escape and is now the subject of manhunt. Operatives also seized several firearms, laptops and money.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? Are you concerned that there could be Chinese nationals moving around Parañaque secretly committing human trafficking violations? Do you think that Parañaque’s prostitution industry is under the heavy influence of Chinese nationals right now?
