7 Kidnapped Teens Rescued from Cybersex Den Aimed at Foreigners Alaminos City, Pangasinan

The above headline is about a raid on a Cyber Sex Den. This “Cybersex Den” was not operated by foreigners, yet anyone reading the headline might be mistaken for making that association. Why include the reference in the headline “Aimed at foreigners”? Who else would it be aimed at?

It can be argued that if was not for the demand of “Foreigners” to view cyber sex this place would not exit, and this is true. What would the teens be doing instead? They might instead be working in the many brothels, karaoke and other such establishments that cater for Filipinos.

This is not to condone the existence of this cybersex den in any way or suggest that it’s a better alternative. My only point here is that we Filipinos exploiting Filipinos yet the Filipino media attempts to deflect blame and responsibility on to foreigners.

It is just part of the general anti-foreigner slant the Filipino media put on all stories.

I note an absence of the mention of “human trafficking” as the charge for the two Filipinos that were arrested for running the cybersex den. This is a very serious non-bailable offence that seems to be reserved for foreigners. I wonder what Filipinos were charged with…

Were they really held against their will.

 

So true Alex. Filipino's treat their women far worse then the average foreigner and its far more likely for a female to be abused in Filipino hands then a foreigner hand and abused far worse. Very few stories of real hardcore abuse by foreigners could be found here vs the odds that there is a local female within a couple of blocks being abused hardcore. Yet everytime its made out to look like all us foreigners are horrible disgusting sexual predators while completely ignoring the very large amount of abuse on women by the Filipino male community.

 

Totally agree with this, it is far easier to blame us ( the foreigner) than to do an in depth investigation of their own which would (I have no doubt) uncover more than the Average man in the Street.
