However, according to statistics, the Angeles City in Pampanga is one the places in the country with the highest number of prostitution next to Metro Manila as the leading one.Viewing the fact that the Philippines has been linked to some of the countries in the Southeast Asia in terms to reputation for sex tourism and prostitution. The country still stands out due to the local people friendliness and hospitality. It is true that the Philippines ranks at number 4 among 9 countries involve having the largest number of prostitution. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in the other hand, released its recent report entitled “Sex Work and the Law in Asia and the Pacific”. It has created an impression in the country for debate, in which public needs to pay attention to; yet, looking the positive side of why prostitution shouldn’t be viewed as a crime.Sex tourism in the Philippines might be in opposition to women and some men, and can be a contrivance of oppression. But, it is still one of the easiest sweet escape of many. In Pampanga, Manila and Olongapo, this action have become legalized under the entertainment veneer of bars, clubs, Massage Parlors, karaoke bars, and escort service. The dancers, singers, as well as the guest relation officers (GRO) waitresses working in different bars and clubs and to mention establishments become sex workers. They will be given by their clients with fee to take out and get to them for one night. In some instances, there are also those who tour bars by themselves trying to find their paying customers and partners.
How can this service help the country’s industry?
A legalised sex tourism industry can settle on increasing the supply of the trade while reducing the cost of the services. Whether this theory is correct or not. The reality remains that intercontinental tourism is one fundamental way to augment the economic status of the Philippines, and the sex tourism encompasses a considerable segment of the country’s tourism.
Wondering what could be the profoundest reason why some women and men choose this fate?
One of the main factors is poverty and seek for love. Just recently, the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) has released a data concerning about the poverty level in the Philippines, and it’s sad to know the reality that it is roughly unchanged within the past 6 years. Now, how can we blame the people who are also in need to put themselves to risk by selling their own flesh just to meet their families’ hungry maw? Just like everybody else, these people are working hard to serve food for their love one’s dining table.
After all, prostitution is the well-known oldest profession in the world. This job will always exist. Although it may sound risky for the health condition of people involve, but the risk is already regulated in order to protect them by making it safer with the government’s help and by helping them to have continuous health check up regarding their health condition in regular basis.
People who offer sex tourism are actually not committing a harmful act. They are actually helping the country develop and expand the trade. Sacrificing but at the same time enjoying their job. These women who agreed and get themselves involve in sex tourism entice more and more tourists from across the globe to visit the country since loads of source of enjoyment are to be had with due respect to prostitution.
How sex tourism help the lives of people’s involved?
Legalizing prostitution does not only help the lives of the women to improve from poverty, but as well as helping them to gain positive stance and somehow recourse their path in time. When they became capable to save financially and think of other monetary means, they can start to give their family an improved way of life. Some, in the other hand, find their real life partners in this career path.
There are many foreign men attracted to Filipina beauty and their innate natural kindness and sweetness. This state has been one of the reasons why many lucky men and women decides to visit the new world underlying the Philippine lands. Usually this industry was observed and judged, but now? It is one of the known satisfactory and a great deal in order to gain many tourists and natives interest. Thus, the sexual service becomes a business that is hard to curb.
Women and men indulging in this kind of industry as well as their clients have their own decision. Though with a different reason, they decide on how they will go on through their journey.
