Yes, the Philippines is a paradise to most people but not if you are one of the 375,000 women and girls sold into the sex slave market. A trafficker earns $3500-$4500 dollars for each woman sold on the international sex trade market. Their ages range between 15 and 20 years of age, some as young as 12. The younger they are, the more money they are worth. Some of these teenage girls are not forced into this but go of their own free will. This is because they come from poor rural Provinces with no education and no hope for a better life. This is sad. Over 140,000 victims are shipped to Japan with the promise of a good job. Some where between 10-20 women a day are sent to Hong Kong with again the promise of a better life. I know when you are reading this you say how could they believe these lies, right? But, you must remember some of them are desperate to improve their living condition! These victims have nothing, sometimes not even food to eat or a roof over their head.
Just one more note, there are agency in the U.S. and countries around the world that sell sex tours to the Philippines and many places in Asia. How sick are these people? What rock did they crawl out from under? There is a special place in HELL for them! Taking advantage of these poor people! My only hope for this human traffickers is that, one day they will be caught and put into jail for life.
