How true is it that most of the massage centers in manila are fronts for prostitution?

Question

I went to have a massage, but the attendant, instead of giving me an excellent massage told me this informations:

1. That their sallaries are not being paid;
2. That they relied on tips from their clients to earn their living;
3. That they have to solicit for sex which they call extra service in order to get a larger "tip"
4. That they are made to pay 50.00 to 100.00 pesos for every client. If their client do not give them any tip, then they still pay from their pocket. It is unjust because they work, but instead made to pay for it. Why not these spas pay their masahistas?

Among the spas that do this is Big M Massage in D Tuazon and one along West Avenue, both in QC

Answer 1

If you wan ta massage but not anything "extra" then do your research. This doesn't only happen in the Philippines but elsewhere too. Sucks but that is life.

Answer 2

Yeah...Sadly, they exist & not only in those massage spas but everywhere in Phils. Those poor women are forced to work on prostitution due to poverty and continued to get abused just because the government/ corrupt officials have nothing to do about it & they don't really give a damn on it.
Instead of accusing those people that are victims of poverty they should at least give some decent works/ livelihood programs.

Answer 3

Typical of the Philippines corruption at its best. Nothing new.

Answer 4

well..itsa not only in manila...its everywhere?y r u from a masseur???

Answer 5

A fact of life.

Better go to spas where there are more female clientele than males. Although sexual favors may still be solicited there, it may (hopefully) be more discreet.

Why does this atrocity persist? The employees have to survive.

Answer 6

You must be kidding? What planet are you from?

Answer 7

hey, it happens!
