had carnal knowledge of Belen. When Rita returned, Elmer paid her ₱2,200, of
which ₱700 was then given to Belen. Rita warned Belen not to tell anyone about
what happened. Before they could all leave the hotel room, the police barged in

not force Belen to have sex with Elmer for a fee. Belen herself admitted that she
consented to have sexual intercourse with Elmer. What crime, if any, is Rita
