On the ground and in the bars the raids have always been focused towards the age of girls working in bars with checks on their dental records being used to find out the true age of girls possibly working with fake documentation. Bars have been challenged to find a solution to FAKE ID which can be sometimes very hard to work out without co-operation with government agencies but that does not happen therefore when a raid happens 1% of girls at anytime probably have a problem with ID making bar owners without knowledge vulnerable.
Now what about the clubs, the discos, the KTV's (which are essentially bars hidden behind closed doors) that seem to have different issues firstly the clubs and discos are not the employers of freelance girls attracting attention from customers almost everywhere in the country yes even the provinces, a karaoke bar in Mariveles Bataan still has bar girls attached to the bar available for 800 pesos for fun something that is aimed at Filipino factory workers, KTV's in AC and Manila especially Malate offer price for release but seem to fall under the radar as the Bars are much more visible. So why are freelance venues like LA CAFE, HIGH SOCIETY, NOCTURNAL, SKYTRAX, R&B, AMAZONIA, ZZYZX or even VALKYRIE vulnerable?
They attract large numbers of visitors daily and if the WAR V's DRUGS is to be really actively fought against on the ground i would not be surprised to see these big clubs become victim to the same level of RAIDS that the bars have been victim to for many years. I recommend all owners of nightclubs, discos and music venues to clean up your act and encourage people to party, enjoy alcohol and drug free vape but with Cigarettes already BANNED, drugs will be the next target and i expect Filipino and Foreign people to be checked and DOGS used during raids.
