Recently in the City of Las Piñas, an anti-human trafficking operation conducted by law enforcers resulted in the rescue of several therapists of a so-called wellness spa and the arrests of two suspects, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. The operation took place within Barangay Pamplona Dos.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…
Eight wellness spa therapists were rescued while two suspects were arrested in an anti-human trafficking operation conducted early Thursday, Nov. 30, in Las Piñas City.
The police said members of the Southern Police District (SPD)-Special Operations (SOU), together with members of the Women and Children’s Concern Section (WCCS) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)-National Capital Region (NCR), conducted an entrapment operation at around 12:10 a.m. in a wellness spa located in Barangay Pamplona Dos, Las Piñas City.
The SPD said the arrested suspects were identified as a certain Mary who served as a pimp and receptionist, and a certain Fred, security and maintenance head of the establishment.
The police said the eight rescued victims are now under the care of the DSWD-NCR while the two suspects were brought to the SPD headquarters for documentation and filing of charges.
Police recovered the P500 marked money, used condoms, and three logbooks with details of some customers.
