MANILA — Law enforcement agencies on Friday raided a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator in Pasay City over reports of illegal operations and prostitution. Authorities found various facilities, including bedrooms, a KTV area, a spa offering illicit services, a clinic, a canteen, a mini-grocery store, and a room referred to as an "aquarium," where foreign nationals would allegedly choose women to hire.

An estimated 500 workers, predominantly Chinese nationals, reside in the hub, with a few Filipinos engaged in utility and support services.
