Talk:Prostitution in the Philippines

thread_title: Move

message: This article is very poor.  It gives far too much prominence to violence against prostitutes (I am not denying this occurs, but not on such a scale as to justify it taking up 40% of the total article), and fails to mention sex tourism, which is a major element of the Philippine sex industry.  It also says that prostitution is illegal, but neglects to give any information on how it can occur on such a scale if so.  Nor does it examine social attitudes to prostitution - for example, what percentage of the population patronises prostitutes?  What is the attitude of the church?  What economic alternatives are open to prostitutes?
The whole article needs a lot of work to improve it.  Rodparkes 06:04, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Weak and Unbalanced Article

message: This see also has got to go unless there is any reference to child exploitation in the article, which, currently there most certainly is not! 122.148.41.172 (talk) 16:20, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Commercial sexual exploitation of children 

message: This article seems to claim that the prostitution/sex trade industry in the Philippines started when it became an American colony. http://english.pravda.ru/society/sex/04-10-2011/119226-sex_tourism_philippines-0/
I don't think it started then, but it could certainly be a factor in the current size of the industry.

message: Hi Wikipedians!
My name is Sessama7 and I plan on revising this article for my Human Development course. I plan on rewriting some of the already present information, adding additional sources as well as developing the causes,consequences and characteristics of prostitution in the Philippines. Please let me know if you have any advice or information on this topic, I would love to hear from you!

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This edit caught my eye. I don't have any reason to disagree, but I wondered about the comparison. I looked quickly at the cited supporting sources and could not find support for that comparison or for the asserted relative importance of reasons prostitutes give for for engaging in the life. Here, I've moved the supporting cites and added a  tag. Please correct me if I missed the info in those sources or add a source which does provide clear support.

thread_title:  Reasons, and conparison with other countries 

message: This section should be removed because sex trafficking and prostitution are not the same thing. Also, this section is the largest on the page and takes away from the focus of the article. Perhaps a small section could be kept noting the distinction between prostitution and sex trafficking.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnwall99 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Sex trafficking is not the same thing as prostitution as you point out. However, if some prostitutes with a country are trafficked then it is a relevant topic to include within the article, especially in this article as trafficking in the Philippines is a significant problem. Not sure the distinction needs to be brought out in every prostitution article. Far better to bring out the difference in the main article sex trafficking. --John B123 (talk) 17:58, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  It seems to me that this subtopic section should focus on or be limited to content relating to the topic of the article. That is: sex trafficking as it relates to prostitution in the Philippines. That would not include persons trafficked from the Philippines for purposes of prostitution outside of the Philippines. That would seem to exclude the entire initial paragraph of the section. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 18:37, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
