Even though there were thousands of sailors and Marines in Olongapo when the ships were in, there were many times that number of girls working in the bars.
True, the girls were highly encouraged by the bar owners to consent to sexual requests, and the girls themselves sometimes did so simply to ensure another barfine the next day, but the girls were not obligated to do anything.
