Some employees find a way to make extra cash in the worst ways possible.
“Earlier this week, hotel manager Glenn Christian and alleged pimp Monette Patricio were arrested by National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) operatives for prostituting girls at Hotel Paradis in Sta. Cruz, Manila,” reports Aie Balagtas See in The Philippine Star.
The report noted: “Four underage girls — aged 13 to 16 years old — and five women were rescued from the hotel. Investigators said each girl received PHP1,000 of the PHP1,500 paid by a client. The rest of the money reportedly goes to Patricio.”
An NBI agent, who requested anonymity, disclosed, “Patricio has been recruiting minors, and her male clients would always take these girls to Hotel Paradis. That’s why we also arrested Christian.”
Patricio and Christian have been charged with human trafficking and are currently detained at NBI jail.
