MANILA, Philippines — The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested an individual who allegedly posed as a doctor and offered penile enlargement procedures without a medical license at a hotel room in Parañaque City.

The female suspect was apprehended in an entrapment operation on Tuesday morning while allegedly preparing a male patient for filler injections to augment the size of his genital, NBI spokesperson Palmer Mallari told reporters in an interview.

Mallari said the operation stemmed from a complaint filed by the patient and his wife, who discovered the fake doctor through word-of-mouth recommendations from previous customers.

The suspect allegedly offered the married couple various penile enlargement services costing up to P50,000, said Mallari, who noted that legitimate procedures would usually range from P80,000 and P100,000.
