Angeles City in the Philippines is a well-known sex tourism destination. There
used to be an American air base here, but now it’s popular among mainly retired
men who travel in search of sex for sale. Hundreds of local young women work in
the bars and night clubs offering additional services for the money they
desperately need to make ends meet and feed their families.
These children immediately stand out in the crowd, being of mixed-race here
almost certainly means a child is the product of a liaison between a sex tourist
and a call girl. They may stand out but they’re not unusual, within their

Sexual harassment and the law
Aika Rey February 18, 2018
The law prescribes a certain period of time within which an offender may be
prosecuted for a crime
What is 'Acts of
Lasciviousness?
The age of consent
The age of sexual consent in the Philippines is 12 for all, but contacts with
minors (under 18) are an offence if the minor consents to the act for money,
gain or any other remuneration or as the result of an influence of any adult
person.
It's this that makes it effectively illegal for anyone over 18 to have sex with
one under 18, Republic

Support some groups who empower Filipino families to exercise their reproductive

It was around Christmas time in 2012, then President Benigno Aquino III quietly
signed the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health (RH) Act into law. It
was the fulfillment of Aquino’s promise to give every Filipino the RH
information and services they need to plan for their families.
The passage of the RH law was the gift of the right to choose. Its triumph was
the result of decades of tireless lobbying by women’s groups and grassroots
leaders. But as far as victory celebrations went, it was a short-lived one.

puts an end to an innocent life. In the same way, however, I can and must state
that there is no sin that God's mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a
repentant heart seeking to be reconciled with the Father," the letter states.
"May every priest, therefore, be a guide, support and comfort to penitents on
this journey of special reconciliation," the letter continues.
"I henceforth grant to all priests, in virtue of their ministry, the faculty to
absolve those who have committed the sin of procured abortion."

SC tackles same-sex marriage in historic oral arguments
June 14, 19 and 26, 2018
In a historic first, the Supreme Court of the Philippines will tackle in oral
arguments a petition seeking to legalize same-sex marriage in the Philippines.
Gay lawyer Jesus Falcis filed the petition 3 years ago, in 2015, and he will
finally have his day in court on Tuesday, June 19. His petition was bolstered by
intervenors Crescencio "Ceejay" Agbayani and Marlon Felipe, a gay couple.
