Sugar daddies and sugar babies on the rise

I would venture to say that there is very little 'forced' prostitution in the Phils.

Naturally, there are many self-righteous, do-gooder NGOs and religious  money-making organisations who would have the world believe that there is.

Don't forget beauty = power, seems like an equal exchange.

I would agree, for some sadly its their way of survival while for others a profitable way of life.

Me thinks you use too broad a brush my friend.  The self-righteous, do-gooder NGOs and religious folks are primarily concerned with child prostitution.  And while some people try to use religion to make a buck, I think the majority are sincere in their efforts to protect these kids.  Just my opinion of course.

What gives you that idea ? 

Actually, I think the Phils authorities are perfectly capable of sorting out their own social problems, without the interference of outside attention and fund-seeking busybodies...who are happy to do 'half a job', and then off they scarper to fresh pastures, often leaving 'rescued'  innocent locals (thinking mainly of the bars, with that one)  and foreigners locked up in their wake.

Can't agree on that one Graham.

Well they are not doing a very good job of it, for the majority of people life hasn't changed, just my opinion of visiting for 20 years.

Okay.

I guess we all have our own views on it.
