During the operation, they noticed that Chinese-looking men who were usually chauffeured by drivers would arrive at the den at around 12 midnight and leave during the wee hours of the morning.
The house was located in Barangay village San Francisco near a casino where numerous Chinese nationals work. Mendoza said the women were recruited from the Hainan and Jilin provinces and were promised that they would work in call centers in the Philippines.
The police also arrested a Chinese national named Chiun Lee from the prostitution den. Mendoza said that the 10 women are now in the custody of a Chinese Filipino man who works as an interpreter for the police. Mendoza is now coordinating with the Bureau of Immigration BI to determine how to handle the situation.
He said he will also contact the Chinese embassy in Manila. The police have yet to identify the people who operated the prostitution den. Many of those foreigners were Chinese.
