There is no moral, when it comes to bar business
Your business is to screw every penny out of the customer or you will be screwed.
Reminds me of a Singaporean friend, who kick started a bar, in Davao- his asawa from Davao.
Initially he said his bar only for Drink and nothing else .. and morally right and wrong etc. etc. and he being a catholic, in a catholic country ..
and when the season become bad, and his 150,000 S$ investment seemed to be sinking - with the town 'chiefs' turning up for free drinks etc, he bit the bullet, and now have go-go girls .. now he has recouped his business, and claims he has monthly turnover of sufficient amount for his family, plus a quarterly bonus for staff, and apart from his investment fully recovered - took him 4 years though, but it was fast return, in the eyes of my other bar owner friends ... maybe his location played a big part ..

No wonder my friends keep telling me LAX is a must go.

It is in the list of places one must see, apart from Bed Rock, Spicy Finger, Tabu, Mansion, HRC, Republiq .. so a foreigner will know the other side of Philippines ...
I remember once, outside Tabu, I saw a gang of guys, milling around the huge Ford Expeditions, and the similar MPVs / Large Cars, all wearing Safari Suits with bulging sides (Side-Arm) and having worked with some of the kind, I can sort of figure out if they are carrying or not - and I thought it is a gang on it's way for a raid - slowly I stepped back and the security smiled and said "sir, they are body guards of the guests - you are in one of the safest place (Makati) and as of now, you have about 100 plus armed body guards to protect this place - relax"
