The Station Investigation and Detective Management Branch of the Makati City police, led by Maj. Gideon Ines Jr., launched an entrapment and rescue operation in a hotel in Barangay Poblacion at 11 p.m.

The operation was hatched after confidential information was received that the establishment was being used as a prostitution front.

Makati City police chief Col. Rogelio Simon said that the services of the Chinese women are being offered online for P20,000 to P30,000.

“This is a hotel but it a front for prostitution business. As you can see, evidence showed they used sex gadgets, condoms and other sex paraphernalia,” Simon said in Filipino. /gsg
