In other countries such as Thailand and the Netherlands, prostitution is a legalized profession. Why not do it here in the Philippines?
I say a resounding "NO" for several reasons. First, it will fully liberalize the already liberal view of Filipinos about sex. It will create more problems than solutions, e.g. rampant infidelity, unwanted pregnancies, broken marriages, AIDS, illegitmates, etc. They say, the end does not justify the means. Second, we should dwell on the reasons why a person engage in prostitution?A deeper analysis will reveal that prostitution itself is not the problem but some other social problems such as extreme poverty and drug addiction.It is only resorted to as a means of survival. In Filipino adage, ika nga "kapit sa patalim".Authorities should pin down the real problem and formulate long term solutions.Third, legally speaking, legalizing prostitution is contrary to public morals. Thus, even if enacted into law it can be declared null and void. Lastly, look at yourself in the mirror and place your self in the shoes of those people selling flesh to earn a living.Is this really their free will to do such things?Or they are only compelled to sell their souls just to survive?Maybe, NOT.Reflect and you be the judge.
