USA May Return ? News from Luzon..

The U.S. has to dock those ships somewhere after some time at sea or the Marines on board might start banging the Navy. lol

 

I like Dave & Imp's post, it offers a fair prospective.
Just one point I would like to make, Thailand is not a Christian Country, so those who would blame the Church for what is or might happen in Philippines please take note.

 

Why would a father of a child have any conscience about prostituting his daughter?? For the wise sum of p50
When so many fathers here bang their own daughters at the age of nine, up until they get pregnant or run away, and if he is lucky enough to have 5 or 6 daughters he will go through the lot of them.
They must have the mindset that, well “its my daughter I own her” just like the carabao out the back. Well a hole is a hole.
I will say that it is not every father here but god forbid if it was.

 

supply, demand and poverty...

These are comments and article on parents pushing their children into the illeal sex industry because of poverty within the family with a large number of kids. The government seems to have awareness over this but does little other than seminars. It seems like the government acknowledges the problem, too bad the church does not.

Article on poverty and illegal sex trade; Cyberporn thrives, along with poverty in Philippines


Acting Gov. Agnes Magpale, who cochairs the Provincial Women's Commission, said that in confronting the problem of cyberpornography, poverty in the community should be addressed first.
Livelihood seminars in Ibabao and other depressed villages will be conducted to give the women opportunities to earn a decent living, Magpale said. "Since Cebu is a tourist spot, we would teach them how to massage and make bags," she said.
To make them get through the day, she said the province would provide rice to poor families.
Sitoy said the Cordova municipal government would hold parent-teacher association meetings in schools to educate the parents and call on the Department of Education to initiate a campaign against cyberpornography.
Magpale acknowledged that the livelihood programmes are no match to the dollars that cyberpornography operators get per session.
"But we are doing our best to solve the [problem]. We're not giving up," Magpale said.

 

Not to worry. McArthur will return and will bring along George Burns to entertain the troops and keep them from whoring!
