Cops raid spa offering ‘extra service’ in Makati
MANILA, Philippines — Police authorities raided a spa in Barangay Poblacion, Makati City for allegedly offering sex to its customers, the city police station said on Tuesday.

When the police asset gave the go signal for the back-up men to launch the operation, policemen were able to accost the establishment’s maintainer and 12 other spa personnel, including the reported sex worker.
During the same operation, three male Chinese nationals who were at the site were profiled by the police officers.
“One of the police asset acted as [customer] and gave Php 3,000 to [the sex worker] in exchange of sexual intercourse,” the Makati police said in its spot report.
