    Having re- read, yes you are right, has there been any report of his actual crime apart from 'sexual abuse'? which covers so many things

    JP :rolleyes:

    Sad to say but its what this country is doing to itself. It welcomes the worst of the worst because it allows the worst of the worst from its own citizens. While Filipino's have a lot of great qualities sex with minor's is not uncommon at all for men 10+ years older then them. Sexual abuse of ones own relatives especially in the mountain area's is common as well but not talked about as a taboo. I've known of an old case here in Dumaguete where an old foreigner was finding young girls at Negros Oriental High School and these girls were often 14, 15, 16 age range. He'd lure them sometimes with straight out paying for sex, other girls not wanting he would lure them in with promises of a job, and other such things but when at his house the girl was to shy and scared mostly to refuse. He is now long gone due to a foreigner who lived near him ratting him out. However one of his main arguing points of why what he was doing wasn't really bad was because there were plenty of Filipino men doing the exact same thing and some of them were the ones helping him establish his system. Filipino men who do these are just brushed off and ignored 99.9% of the time getting away with it as their aren't any headlines to be had, no money to be had, and the girls come from poor families that the officials really don't care about. Its that way of thinking and not protecting minors from your own sicko's that draw's in the foreign sicko's.

    If the country wants to ever fix its problem with this and remove itself as one of the top sex tourism (especially child sex tourism) destinations in the world they need to start with cleaning up their own. Pass a law that makes the legal age of consent 16, 17, 18 or whatever they want to set it as but be a straight out law without gimmicks. Mass mandatory sentencing for child predators and enforce it strictly. I'd even mandate that twice a year every public school must with the women's protection division of the police have a private interview with every child (least every female child) at the school.

    Paedophilia is believed to be a type of mental disease. Sadly most perpertrators were abused themselves as children.

    Pass a law? You think that would stop sexual abuse by a drunken uneducated coconut farmer in some remote province in the Philippines?? lol

    I hear your points but this post is about the foreigner scum who come here and cast a dark cloud over us. How can we point to the local scumbags while we see weekly arrests of foreigners pedophiles? I don't have the answer.

    There are paedophiles in every country - indeed from my research it seems its an issue at the apex of the power structures in most western countries. Refer to current scandal in UK house of Lords, and there was the rent boy scandal under Bush snr regime etc. Given how many westerners live in Asia its not like there is a massive proportion of paedophiles also. But one bad apple spoils the whole bunch as it were
