**disclaimer**
This blog is not about trying to answer back the 2 blogs that I just read. Its more about my own opinion on the subject matter
I was browsin around in myspace (again lol) and I chanced upon 2 profile pages of 2 totally different guys that came here a few months back. How I felt about it, I dont really know. Well, sure its embarassing to live in a country that has people seeling their children as sex slaves but what can I say? This IS a third world country.. As sad as it may sound.. And I'm not saying people arent doing anything about it, coz they are.. well... as far as i know.. Its a sad fact that alot of filipinos would accept a job that pays below the minimum wage just to earn some money to get by every single day..
Another truth is about the upper class of this country. Rich people trying to get everything they can get their greedy hands on. Not thinking of who they hurt in the process..
Honestly, I shouldnt be the right person to really react about the prostitution here because I lived a very sheltered life. Growing up, I thought prostitution only exsisted in the movies.. It was later during my teenage years that I came to realize that there is indeed prostitution and that they were just around. I never even knew that there was kiddie porn here until I was invited for an audition.. gawd..
Its embarassing to have come to realize how low some people can get to try and hussle someone out of something. Foreigner or Local. This is not the first time that I have seen or heard of something like this and somehow, everything gets worse every single day. I have had a few friends here who are foreigners, whether itd be for business or just taking a vacation and it would always be the same.. The same type of people taking advantage of foreigners, vacationees etc.
So there no use in defending our part as filipinos if some of us are really aware of how the country is.. The only hope that some of us have is that, thses same people who's had some bad experience here would also come to realize that not all filipinos are husslers or prostitutes or greedy swanks, some of us are just.. ok.
