There are expert bloggers that will tell you that in order to generate more traffic into your site you write a post with the title "Pinay scandal." If your post becomes very popular that it makes it to the top ten in the search engines there will be a good number (or should I say "evil" number?) of people who are searching for porn in the internet that will most likely land in your site making it generate a higher traffic.

Sex sells. That is why using the Pinay Scandal word in a blog or website is sure to drive a number of visitors to your blog or website. "Pinay scandals" sites are known to contain pornographic materials featuring Filipinas.

The real pinay scandal is not that sexually depraved people are searching for pornography in the internet. Let me tell you what the real pinay scandal is. It is the continued trafficking, prostitution and abuse of Filipino children and women.

The following statistics will show to you what I am talking about.

1.) TRAFFICKING OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN

On July 2, 1998 the Daily Star reported that there are 150,000 Filipina women that are trafficked into prostitution in Japan. Allegedly some of these women were sold to the Yakuza for $2,400.00 to $ 18,000.00 each. On May 31, 1995, The Manila Chronicle reports that 150 Filipinas were sold into prostitution to night club operators in African countries most particularly Nigeria. These women were sold for $5,000 each by international crime syndicates.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development in the Philippines reports that 492 of 3,776 reported cases of child abuse involves pornography, prostitution, paedophilia and trafficking. From 1991 to 1996 there were 8,335 cases of child abuse from 1991-1996, 96% of the victims were females.

2.) PROLIFERATION OF THE PROSTITUTION OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Study shows that there are about 75,000 children in the Philippines who were forced into prostitution because of poverty.This was reported in the August 18, 1998 of Kyodo News.

There are 400,000 women engaged in prostitution in 1998 as reported in the February 25, 1998 issue of TODAY. Not included in this statistics are the unregistered, seasonal prostitutes, overseas entertainers and victims of external trafficking. About one fourth of those engaged in prostitution are children. It has been reported that about 3,266 more children are forced into prostitution each year.

A intensive study by Sol F. Juvida entitled "Philippines - Children: Scourge of Child Prostitution" reveals some hair raising statistics. According to the study, the Philippines is fourth among 9 nations with the most children in prostitution, with 60,000 - 100,000. The same study reports that in Angeles City alone 75% of the estimated 500 prostitutes in the "Area," a ghetto known for child prostitution in Angeles City are children. In 1984, there were 7 provinces with child sex rings. Today, they are present in 37 provinces.

The Indian Express reports in their November 21, 1997 issue that the Philippines is one of the favored destinations of pedophile sex tourists from western countries like Europe and the United States.

InterPress Service in its October 12, 1997 issue tells of the horrific story of a 13 year old girl named Sharon. She was kidnapped and sold as a virgin for US$30. While she was in a brothel, she was abused by 8 to 15 men every night. This suffering continued even when she was sick or had her menstrual period. Fortunately she escaped with a customer's help. By that time more than 1,500 men had already abused her.

The sad thing about this is that there is "no evidence" that children in prostitution can ever rehabilitate. This traumatic experience will be borne by them forever in life. EPCAT (End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes) coordinator Ron O'Grady says that "Few children rescued from brothels have been able to begin living anything like a healthy life again. " In an international conference Ron O'Grady says ''The ultimate solution to the problem lies in changing human attitudes and human values'' Not only is the real pinay scandal the continuation of all of these horrific activities. The ultimate pinay scandal is the failure of society to change their attitudes towards these problems and to do something about it.
