[edit] Move
It will be bumpy for a week or so as we sort what goes where, however, hope this helps. Devalover 17:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Weak and Unbalanced Article
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)
- Don't worry; you're not the only one who noticed it, and this isn't the only article where this occurred. Please see my comments on this article. Thanks. --- Tito Pao 07:04, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
