BAGUIO CITY — The Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) urges the public not to avail of unauthorized freelancers offering personal services—such as nail cleaning, massage, henna tattooing, and fortune-telling—in parks and other public areas.
These unregulated services are often used to conceal criminal activities, putting unsuspecting clients at risk.
The police recently encountered cases where clients fell victim to theft during these services. In one incident, a citizen was victimized during a massage session provided by an unauthorized masseuse at Magsaysay Avenue, Kagitingan, Baguio City.
City Director PCOL Ruel D. Tagel emphasized the need for vigilance and community cooperation:
“Prevention is better than solving a crime. We must exert all efforts to prevent crimes—through precautionary measures, strict implementation of city ordinances, and continuous patrolling—to ensure safe parks and other public places throughout the city.”
BCPO strongly advises the public to:
