INTRODUCTION

Prostitution in the Philippines is illegal, although somewhat tolerated, with law


enforcement being rare with regards to sex workers. Penalties range up to life imprisonment for
those involved in trafficking, which is covered by the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003.
Prostitution is often available through bars, karaoke bars (also known as KTVs), massage
parlors, brothels (also known as casa), street walkers, and escort services. Prostitution caters to
both local customers and foreigner. There is an organized movement to make prostitution a legal
activity in the Philippines. By one estimate a half a million women prostitute themselves.
There are basically three kinds of prostitutes in the Philippines: 1) those that work out of
“casas,” or brothels, and are employed by pimps or brothel owners: 2) those who work in bars,
karaoke and hotels, who are usually controlled by the owners of the establishment where they
work; and 3) freelancers, who work the streets. Brothels are often disguised as restaurants.
Most of the men who use prostitutes in the Philippines are locals not foreigners. You would
not get this impression by visiting one of the better-known red-light districts. Local tend to use
community-, neighborhood- and town- based brother and sex workers. As in most other
countries, there are three types of prostitutes or sex working girls in the Philippines:
streetwalkers, entertainment girls (constitutes), and call girls or high-class prostitutes.
Streetwalkers are not common, are usually self-employed, and many have pimps. Their safety is
at jeopardy on the streets. The majority of the prostitutes fall under the category of entertainment
girls. These constitutes include bar girls, nightclub hostesses (waitresses), masseuses, exotic
dancers, and those that work in brothels. They are usually business employees and have contact
managers (sophisticated pimps). Their safety is secure because they work inside an
establishment. However, they cannot refuse clients who are produced by agencies and their
managers. They cannot set the prices for their services.
PROBLEM: PREVELANT PROSTITUTION

OBJECTIVES:

In Bayugan City, there are a lot of sex scandal or pornographic videos made by the
youth. But the issue here is, some of the youth engaged illegal doings like prostitution, which is
illegal in our country. Based on our observation, the reason why they engaged prostitution are:
because of money; to make they can buy what they want; because of the environmental
influence; because of their friends and also some of their reason is temptation of money.
According to our research, the effects after engaged prostitution are: the health consequences of
involvement in prostitution are significant and enduring. They include physical injuries,
gynecological problems, emotional trauma, addiction issues and mental health problems such as
depression, eating disorders, suicidal ideation and self-harm. To prevent prostitution, youth
should avoid bad influences that might be the reason why you engage. Instead of engaging in
prostitution to get money, youth should find a decent work to get what they want. Youth should
know their limits when it comes to premarital sex because it is the way to get money when you
engaged in prostitution.
