Poverty & Prostitution in the Philippines

 October 31, 2014 

Happy Halloween !!!

Let me start by saying that had the Philippine oligarchy along with Aquino III and his group, their families, friends, relatives, cronies left my people & ancestral land alone and instead have established a country and government on their respective ancestral land say, Hacienda Luisita or China, what he does or fail to do would have been none of my business.

But since the ruling class insists that Aquino III is the president of the entire Philippine archipelago a former U.S. territory, I have to be involved, do my civic duty; point out what’s wrong and assert my ancestral rights.

Solution: Urge the U.S. Senate to rescind the 1946 Treaty of Manila that prematurely & irresponsibly granted independence to the Philippines and stripped us of our U.S. nationality.

 

Why is prostitution rampant in the Philippines

Alleged Underage prostitution in the Philippines – ABC News – Nightline feature

Part 1: “Nightline” goes undercover to investigate Americans accused of selling young women for sex.

Published on Feb 25, 2013

This “Nightline” episode accompanied U.S. law enforcement agents in a raid on a prostitution den front peddling underage girls some as young as 14 years old. In the same way that all Americans must pay income tax regardless of where they are or where they’ve earned it, the operator of the club called “Crow Bar”, Arthur Benjamin is an American ex-pat from Texas and therefore liable of violating U.S. laws on prostitution and sex with underage girls which is illegal in Texas. I wonder if he’s from Nevada, I’m sure they will ask for his permit to operate cat house.

Well and good the U.S. & Philippine law enforcement agents conducted the raid and arrested Arthur Benjamin. They believe they’ve rescued the girls. After getting probably probation or go to juvenile hall, if there’s any and the operation is shut down, where will these girls go? Who will support them and those they support?

This is what I mean when I said the U.S. doesn’t stay long enough to make a lasting difference. They just satisfied the requirements of the U.S. law and forgot about the whole picture.

Jesus Christ! Why not ask the U.S. Senate to rescind the 1946 Treaty of Manila, take over the whole damn place and make it the U.S. territory meant to provide the natural and human resources Japan need even today?  Those who prefer to live segregated from non-native Filipinos could do so and we’ll call it segregated by choice.  But it is obvious Filipinos are not, repeat not ready for self-rule.

It’s common knowledge that Gen. Douglas MacArthur was responsible for creating the only genuine economic miracle of 20th century – post WWII Japan.  Did MacArthur forget about the Philippines? I doubt it. The oligarchs decided to go on their own and shun MacArthur. Whatever Japan lacked in natural resources, there’s plenty of them in the Philippines. Japan and the Philippines is the perfect combination. If we missed developing the Philippines with Japan in the 20th century we could do it in the 21st century.

The World Bank, IMF and the U.N. will continue to aid and abet oppression and the undemocratic oligarchy in the Philippines.  But we will all be judged by history. Facebook is the best thing that ever happened to civilization. We can no longer deny what is happening in the Philippines. 

In Dec. 2007, the World Bank went ahead forgiving $16.5~ Billion debts of the poorest nations in Africa. (See Zero Sum Game of Global Finance Yet today there is still hunger and starvation in Africa. But it’s different now. It’s worse. We have Ebola virus that infected at least two health care workers in Dallas, TX.

“A child committing suicide because of hunger and poverty may be an isolated case, but Filipino families experiencing extreme hunger and poverty are definitely prevalent.“

“We have already seen and heard news of adults committing suicide in desperation borne out of poverty by jumping from billboards or hanging themselves,” Alphonse Rivera, head of the child rights organization, Salinlahi Alliance for Children’s Concerns, said in a statement sent to the Mindanao Examiner.

Oct. 20, 2014 – Seventieth Anniversary of MacArthur’s Leyte Landing in WWII

“If you think this is bad enough, add the recent revelations in Bayanko, like the event in Malolos Provincial Hospital where cats have infested the hospital and eating the carcass of a dead newly born baby. Then add how they feed the patients by getting the carers to pile in a line to collect the food and if you are at the back you do not get any food at all.

Do you know patients die in bulk in these hospitals and with no post mortems, as no one cares, no one knows what causes their death. It could be Ebola, TB, HIV, it can be anything and there is no safeguard because it is the hospital for the poor.

Now the statistic shows that 12.1 million families consider themselves poor –SWS Q3 poll and 40% of workers live in illegal settlements. So what are we doing my Kababayans. We celebrate EDSA 1 for what? To lower the standard of living to this level and just allow this irresponsible government to continue this way.” 

Solution: Urge the U.S. Senate to rescind the 1946 Treaty of Manila that prematurely & irresponsibly granted independence to the Philippines and stripped us of our U.S. nationality.  The Philippines was NEVER a colony. It is a U.S. territory just like Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the American Samoa. Be it in 1934 with the Philippine Commonwealth Law or the 1946 Republic there never was any referendum asking the Natives if they wanted to be stripped of U.S. Nationality.

Marianeth Amper at 12 Suicide victim 11-02-07

Meet Marianneth Amper, the “Anne Frank” of the Philippines, a 12-yr-old girl who has lost hope & committed suicide on Nov. 02, 2007.

Days after Mariannet’s suicide, police investigators recovered under her pillow a diary and a letter addressed to a public service television programme asking for a new pair of shoes and school bag, and steady jobs for her mother and father.

In the last two entries in her diary about two weeks before she took her life, Mariannet lamented that she and her brother had been absent from school and they could not go to church because they had no money for fare and their father was suffering from a fever.

‘It seemed as if we were absent from school for a month now,’ she wrote in her diary. ‘We don’t count our absences anymore. I hardly noticed that Christmas is fast approaching.’

The Amper family is just one of millions of impoverished households in the Philippines still waiting to feel the benefits of an appreciating peso against the US dollar, the fastest economic growth in 20 years and increasing foreign investments.

According to United Nations data, more than 50 per cent of the Philippines’ 88 million people live on less than 2 dollars a day. A nationwide survey conducted by a local polling firm in September also showed that 21.5 per cent of Filipino families suffer involuntary hunger, up from from 19 per cent in November 2006.

A child committing suicide because of hunger and poverty may be an isolated case, but Filipino families experiencing extreme hunger and poverty are definitely prevalent.

We have already seen and heard news of adults committing suicide in desperation borne out of poverty by jumping from billboards or hanging themselves,” Alphonse Rivera, head of the child rights organization, Salinlahi Alliance for Children’s Concerns, said in a statement sent to the Mindanao Examiner.
